In the dark night, a figure nimbly ran … towards the location of the lights — [Rose Mansion].
This figure seemed to be very familiar with the surroundings. Soon, it arrived outside the walls of [Rose Mansion]. With a light leap, it pressed its palm against the wall and directly flipped over the wall.
When it landed, it rolled a few times to reduce the impact. Then, it quickly stood up and approached a window near the main hall of the mansion. It peeked its head out to observe the situation in the main hall.
But soon, this person who was walking in the dark was alarmed by what happened in the hall of the mansion.
At this moment, the blood of the soldier who was beheaded had already formed a small puddle. In the main hall, the Burgundian Cavaliers were filled with murderous intent.
On the other hand, the people on Mr. Jacques's side who were surrounded had a terrible expression on their faces.
…
"I'm Lyon, the captain of the Cavaliers." The young cavalier sneered and said, "I'm sorry. From now on, you are all my captives."
"Damn Burgundians!!"
Instantly, two soldiers who were agitated by the death of their comrade picked up their weapons and rushed toward the young captain, Lyon.
But almost at the same time, two cavaliers rushed out from the group of cavaliers. After a simple exchange of blows, the cavaliers easily knocked down the two soldiers.
Whether it was in terms of equipment or physical condition, the soldiers were obviously no match for the cavaliers. It was expected that they would be knocked down so easily.
"It seems like some of you don't want to listen to my sentence." The captain of the cavaliers, Lyon, shook his head and said with a blank expression, "Perhaps you don't understand the situation you are in."
"Burgundian Cavaliers, what do you want to do?!"
Mr. Jacques took a deep breath and slowly walked out. He placed his hand on the sword on his waist and looked at the cavaliers with a pale face.
The young Lyon glanced at Mr. Jacques. He didn't answer Mr. Jacques's question. Instead, he said, "Since you have a sword in your hand, I'll give you a chance to have a fair duel with me. As long as you can defeat me, I'll let you leave this place. "
As Nan Xiaonan listened, she sneered and said, "Letting us out of this house and then catching us back doesn't count as breaking a promise."
Leonbert looked at him coldly, but he didn't refute. Instead, he looked at Mr. Jacques again. "Remove your weapon, master of the house. Be like a warrior facing the challenge of fate."
Mr. Jacques' expression changed slightly. His hand gripped the hilt of his sword, but his fingers were constantly loosening and tightening.
"Sir, don't listen to him! Let's charge out! "
"That's right! Surely these Burgundian butchers are not so kind! Even if only one of us can make it back to the village, we have to bring back news of the Burgundians' arrival! "
"Mr. Jacques!"
"Enough!" Mr. Jacques yelled in a deep voice. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it at the young Leonbell. "Knight of Burgundy, I accept your challenge! I hope you can abide by the oath of a knight! "
"Looks like tonight won't be too boring." The young man chuckled. He waved his hand and said, "Bring me my weapon!"
In an instant, one of the cavalrymen behind him carried a two-handed sword to Leonbell. A two-handed sword was a heavy weapon, but this young Leonbell could easily lift it with one hand. When he swung it, it didn't seem to be strenuous at all.
This kind of astonishing arm strength instantly caused the militia to be frightened.
Mr. Jacques wasn't a soldier. He only had some property in the village and ran a farm. Even if he had learned some skills, he was probably an amateur. How could he duel with Leonbell who could easily lift a two-handed sword?
This wasn't a fair duel at all.
"Why don't you let me do it?"
At this moment, a voice that seemed to be able to calm everyone suddenly sounded. Although this voice came suddenly, it didn't make people feel that it was abrupt.
It was like a gentle breeze that instantly blew away the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"What an incredible guy …" Mr. Assaches muttered at this moment, and then all his attention fell on the speaker.
It was the guest of his mansion, the traveler of Seven Capitals, Mr. Lo.
…
…
What made Nan Xiaonan curious was that the boss actually took the initiative to stand up. Even if he wanted to find someone to solve this problem, shouldn't it be her who was a new employee and didn't have any human rights yet?
You [Indescribable Existence], stop fooling around!
Miss Maid … Miss Maid's expression was normal. Nan Xiaonan admired Miss Maid's calmness. After knowing her for so long, Nan Xiaonan found that no matter what the boss wanted to do, Miss Maid never had any objection.
This kind of crazy blind obedience made Nan Xiaonan speechless many times. But on the other hand, perhaps only someone like Miss Maid, who agreed unconditionally, could get the boss's approval?
Unconditional obedience … from the bottom of her heart, even her instinct, she didn't resist at all?
Nan Xiaonan knew she couldn't do it. Even if she was bound by the Black Soul Messenger, even if she had lost the possibility of betrayal, her inner thoughts …
At this moment, Mr. Jacques was stunned by the young man who stood up, and then nodded, "Young man, I admit your courage, but it's a pity that we haven't known each other for long. I appreciate your kindness, but this duel should belong to me. "
Boss Luo looked at Leonbell, "I also have the right to resist, right?"
The cavalry captain sneered at this time, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, "I also appreciate people with courage, and I'm 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 a sharp sword."
This cavalry captain was quite arrogant and confident, but he was also quite a deterrent to his subordinates. In an instant, a cavalryman pulled out his weapon and directly threw it at Boss Luo's feet.
"Actually, this sword is enough for me." Boss Luo shook his head at this time.
He stretched out his hand and pressed on the back of Mr. Jacques' hand that was holding the sword. Mr. Jacques was suddenly alarmed, "It's good that you have courage, but you shouldn't force yourself …"
When he saw Luo Qiu's eyes, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Under the gaze of this pair of calm eyes, Mr. Jacques let the young man take away the sword.
Mr. Jacques gritted his teeth and said to Boss Luo in a low voice, "Young man, you are a brave guy! You must survive. If you can defeat this knight, I'm even willing to marry my daughter to you! "
Boss Luo heard this and smiled … He looked at Miss Maid and responded, "I think, because of this sentence, I have a reason to fight … This is the most precious promise for me."
Mr. Jacques didn't find any problem.
After all, marrying his daughter was indeed a precious promise … But he didn't think this young man could defeat the opponent, so he just gave him some encouragement.
Of course, if this young man could defeat the opponent … in this era where the war even affected this remote village, it was certainly a good thing to have a brave son-in-law.
Anyway, Jehanne was still young, and there was still time for them to get along.
This moment was enough for Mr. Jacques to think about many things.
…
"It seems that you have discussed it." Leonbell looked quite patient.
Or maybe he was enjoying the time of watching his prey struggle.
Leonbell walked out with a big sword and sneered, "This is a beautiful promise, and it will even become a story that will be passed down … The premise is that you can defeat your destiny, me!"
The big sword was swung out instantly, and the whistling sound of the wind was very scary. Boss Luo stepped back and dodged. At this time, the big sword directly chopped on the floor, smashing a not small hole in the floor.
Mr. Jacques and the others couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for this young man who had just been promoted.
Nan Xiaonan, on the other hand, thoughtlessly flipped through the items to see if there were any snacks … Only then did she remember that [Rose Mansion] was a very poor place.
'Huh?'
At this moment, Nan Xiaonan found that Miss Maid was not next to her … She subconsciously looked for Miss Maid, who had walked to the counter in the hall.
'What is she doing?'
Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but widen her eyes, watching Miss Maid slowly move the needle of a phonograph placed behind the counter.
This phonograph was very old, and it had been placed on the counter for a long time. 'Maybe it's the only valuable thing in Rose Mansion?'
The sound of fencing gradually became more frequent. Boss Luo, who was holding a one-handed sword, walked around Leonbell nimbly.
Miss Maid took out a record — Nan Xiaonan believed that this record definitely didn't belong to Rose Mansion … Anyway, she even took out the microscope, so she didn't care about the record. Little Snail Chinese Network
With a chuckle, Miss Maid put the record into the phonograph and then put down the needle.
The record slowly turned, and the bronze loudspeaker began to play the melody of the record … The melody, sounded in the hall of Rose Mansion.
It was a symphony.
[Revolution Etude in C Minor].
Time seemed to slow down a lot because of this strange melody … That thrilling battle, at this moment, seemed to have become a competition without the smell of blood because of the sound of the music.
Miss Maid's eyes gradually blurred, looking at Boss Luo who was pointing at the long sword with his finger.
Simple sword movements, simple dodging … Under the beautiful music, Boss Luo's sword became lighter and lighter — this sword technique actually came from the Dragon Slaying Skill that he learned in Chessboard World.
The sword moved faster and faster with the rhythm of the music, like a continuous drizzle.
Leonbell, on the other hand, was feeling more and more uncomfortable. His two-handed greatsword had always been invincible … But at this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire. His whole body felt like it was being tied down, and his speed of swinging his sword had slowed down by more than half!
The more he fought, the more uncomfortable he felt. The more uncomfortable he was, the more chaotic his attack rhythm was … Gradually, even his breathing became very disordered!
Most of the floor of the hall had been smashed into pieces by the two-handed sword, but Leonbell couldn't touch his opponent at all.
Instead, the seemingly ordinary one-handed sword had cut Leonbell's body many times — If he wasn't wearing armor, there should be at least ten wounds on his body.
"Damn it! Where is this music … What kind of witchcraft is this? Stop it! "
His disorderly breathing and unbearable rhythm gradually made the youth realize that the young cavalry captain, who was quite powerful himself, was becoming frustrated. He even couldn't help but roar out loud.
"Catch that woman … No! She must be a witch! Catch that witch for me! Stop this damn sound!! Stop it! "
The sound stopped abruptly.
That simple one-handed sword knocked away Leonbell's greatsword, and then pierced Leonbell's throat like a bolt of lightning!
This was a place that even armor couldn't protect.
Leonbell's body froze as if he was struck by lightning. He took a deep breath … but he couldn't lift up the sword anymore. The feeling of the sword touching his throat made Leonbell feel like he was going to die.
"You let me win."
The music was still playing, and Boss Luo's voice seemed to be part of it.
Seeing this, the cavalrymen were all stunned. Then, their first reaction was to pull out their weapons and charge forward!
Mr. Jacques was the first to react as if he had just woken up from a dream. He quickly shouted, "Burgundian Knight, can't you afford to lose? I'll nail your dignity and shame to my body. Even if I die and go to the underworld, I'll still praise your great name! "
"Stop it!" Leonbell shouted in a deep voice with a terrible expression, "Back off!"
…
The sword was still pointed at Leonbell's throat.
At this moment, Mr. Jacques asked the rest of the militia to bring down Ludic and the male assistant.
Mr. Jacques looked at the crowd and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid they'll come back immediately after we leave … We have to split up. No matter who it is, we have to send back the news of the Burgundians' attack. Do you understand?"
"We understand, Mr. Jacques."
Mr. Assaches nodded and looked at the traveler Mr. Luo nervously … He didn't know how long he could suppress Leonbell.
At this moment, Assaches didn't have time to think about some abnormal things.
For example, the village didn't have electricity, but the Rose Mansion had electricity … Based on his observation of the village, this village didn't even have any mechanical equipment.
How could Mr. Jacques have the nerve to say that he built the mansion?
However, the situation didn't allow Assaches to ask these questions … He and Leval each supported the male assistant and Ludic. Under Mr. Jacques' lead, the crowd slowly left the Rose Mansion.
"You guys go first," Boss Luo said at this moment.
Mr. Jacques knew that this was a strategy to give his people time to escape … But at the same time, this young man's danger would increase exponentially.
But now was not the time to be sentimental. Mr. Jacques took a deep breath and said, "You must come back alive! Come and fulfill my promise … My child! "
…
"Um … Are we leaving the boss like this?" Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but ask Miss Maid quietly.
"Let's go to the village and wait for our master." Miss Maid smiled at this moment.
— — Why do you seem to be in a good mood, good, good mood?
…
The sword was still pointed at Leonbell's throat. Only Boss Luo and the Burgundian cavalry were left in the hall.
Leonbell had calmed down. "Brave swordsman, your swordsmanship is very good. Are you interested in joining me? I can guarantee that you will be my most important partner in the future!"
"The military life may not be suitable for me." Boss Luo smiled casually, "I'm a carefree person."
At the same time, Boss Luo put down his sword gently.
In the blink of an eye, those crossbow-bearing cavalrymen swarmed forward, completely surrounding them, and began to press on.
Leonbell waved his hand and stopped the cavalry. He tried to persuade him again, "You don't look like you're from the village. Donremi Village is isolated and helpless. It's only a matter of time before it falls. Smart people know what to do. I believe that you're not the kind of person who would ruin your future for a village girl's marriage. This girl might even be illiterate! "
"My partner should be far away." Boss Luo smiled casually and said, "Then, I'll be leaving too … I hope everyone will have a good night here."
"Humph, ungrateful." Leonbell shook his head and said, "I cherish talents, but I don't like stubborn people."
He waved his hand.
The cavalry no longer had any scruples. They sneered and swung their weapons. Facing the swarm of attacks, Boss Luo was calm.
At this moment, the light on the roof of the mansion suddenly exploded with a loud bang … At the same time, the window on one side was smashed open. Then, three fist-sized balls were thrown into the hall.
In an instant, the ball released a thick grey smoke … This smoke was extremely irritating. Just breathing in a little bit would cause people to cough uncontrollably. Their throat, nose, and eyes would burn with pain.
"Damn it! Don't cut randomly! They're teammates! "
"Ah-!"
"Where are they? Where are they! They ran away … Chase them!! Chase them!!! "
…
…
The noise in the hall gradually quieted down. It seemed that all the cavalrymen had gone out … including Captain Leonbell.
In a room on the third floor of the mansion. Under the dim moonlight, one could vaguely see the outline of the room.
"Thank you for saving me, Ms. Jenna." Boss Luo's voice suddenly sounded.
"Shh."
At this moment, the girl leaned against the door and listened carefully … She quickly put her finger on her lips and said, "They might not be far away!"
"They should be far away." Boss Luo said, "Why are you here, Ms. Jenna?"
The girl exhaled slowly, "I've been following you, but you didn't know. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing … Anyway, thank you for saving my father."
"I just saved myself." Boss Luo said softly.
"Anyway … thank you!" The girl didn't dare to look at the young man's eyes. She looked out of the window and said in a lower voice, "And, I … I'm not illiterate!"
She even emphasized her words.
