Chapter 139 Rand is jealous

The one who challenged Rand to a duel was the second son of the Earl of Stag.

The emotional connections between these noble ladies and noble gentlemen were very complicated, and Rand didn't figure them out anyway.

Anyway, there were some signs of deliberate mistakes on the test papers, and almost all of the noble girls made such mistakes.

The difference between the first and second place is actually very small.

It just reveals that she doesn't want her parents to find out that she hasn't been working hard, but she doesn't really want to be alone with Rand.

I guess the first place winner must be very surprised to find out that he is actually first.

But the good news is that it seems that this group of noble ladies and gentlemen are all intelligent and will be able to work soon.

But now, it's Rand's turn to vent the pressure.

During this period, the Crescent Territory and the Snow Fox Territory officially came into conflict, and Rand was actually under a lot of pressure.

After all, his New Moon Territory and Crescent Moon Territory are both in a period of rapid development, and every step taken now will have a huge impact on the speed of development.

Although losing now is not fatal, the impact will be far-reaching.

However, the strategy has been decided, and judging from the current situation, there is no need to change the strategy, so let's leave everything to Taner. Rand believes in his military vision.

Now, Rand stood under the scorching sun, holding a wooden sword in his hand and pointing it at the boy who was a little shorter than him.

The boy was dressed very beautifully, but due to Rand's request, he was forced to wear hard leather armor to protect the vital parts of his body, which did not look very good.

He knew that challenging Rand was against his father, but his father had also taught him that nobles should fight for what they wanted.

Rand didn't hate this boy at all. It was normal for a boy to have a girl he liked. After coming here, he didn't do anything to violate Rand's rules, and initiating a duel was completely in line with the etiquette of the nobility.

Although Rand had every right to refuse, or to have his subordinates do the job, there was no need to do so.

The boy was a whole head shorter than him. He held the sword tightly in his hand and looked at Rand with a firm gaze.

His basic stance is very stable, and it seems that he has a good grasp of the basics of swordsmanship. He also seems to have a strong will. Given time, he will become a talented person. In comparison, the descendants of the Black and Brown Marquis are nothing.

"Come on," Rand said.

The boy took the lead and stabbed Rand in the chest.

Then it was easily blocked by Rand.

The wooden sword used in duels is just an ordinary one-handed sword. Wood is a material that cannot be made as slender as a swift sword while maintaining its strength.

The boy's swordsmanship was also very standard, he could chop, stab, cut and lift, it looked like he had put in a lot of effort.

Unfortunately, the difference in physique is too big.

Rand is a swordsman who is not even at the elite level. In other words, Rand is only at the ordinary level.

But this is divided according to the occupational level. If you only look at physical fitness, then Rand is undoubtedly at the level of trolls and tauren, and may even be stronger in some aspects.

Blessing 1. The desire of the Black Goat Mother.

It can improve Rand's physique in all aspects. Although it has very serious negative effects, Rand is immune to it.

In Rand's eyes, the boy's movements were too slow.

After more than a dozen rounds, the boy was already out of breath, with beads of sweat the size of beans constantly dripping from his forehead.

Rand was also wearing leather armor that protected his vital parts. Although he felt a little hot, he was not actually sweating much.

He still maintained the most basic sword-fighting steps, and the wooden sword in his hand remained in a defensive posture, looking at the young man in front of him.

The young man was very sure that Viscount Rand had definitely not reached the level of an elite professional. In other words, he definitely had a chance to defeat him.

But now it seems that the gap is very, very big.

In fact, he admired Rand very much. He went from being a green forester with no status to becoming the Baron of Crescent Territory, Viscount of New Moon Territory, and the leader of the Brownmoon Deer Raiders.

I was a little dismissive at first, until I came here and saw this prosperous holiday resort.

He also learned new knowledge in class, which was different from what his noble teachers had taught him in the past and came from a different perspective.

Although his initial goal was to pursue his own love, after arriving here, he still studied hard the knowledge taught by the elf teachers arranged by Rand.

In fact, if the test scores of these noble young men were also counted in the ranking, he would be the undisputed first.

But now it seems that he has absolutely no chance of winning.

He was very familiar with the swordsmanship that Rand used. It was the same basic aristocratic swordsmanship as his. He knew how Rand would draw his sword every time, but he just couldn't keep up.

Therefore, even if Rand was giving in to him and had not actively attacked, making him see no hope of winning, he would never give up. Even though he respected Rand very much, he did not want to give up his inner persistence.

Rand looked at the stubborn boy with some emotion, as if he saw himself facing the White King.

But he had the healing blessing provided by the Black Goat Mother's thirst, which this boy did not.

Summer in the north is certainly not as unbearable as in the south, but it is not much cooler here. In any case, Rand felt it was scorching hot.

The boy attacked several times, but was still blocked by Rand.

Rand looked at the young man in front of him whose knuckles were already bleeding, and his steps seemed a little shaky.

But his gaze was as firm as at the beginning.

Rand chuckled. The boy was waiting for him to let his guard down.

"Again." Rand's voice was calm, without a trace of fluctuation.

The first place winner standing behind the young man, the object of his admiration, the legitimate daughter of Earl Green Leaf, had already bitten her lips tightly and held the edge of her skirt tightly with her hands.

There were many people watching this duel. After hearing that Rand was going to duel with a young nobleman, Lysa, Elsa, Olenna and Ellie all put down what they were doing and came to watch.

Behind this young master stood the young masters and girls from the small classroom at the foot of the mountain.

A group of people surrounded the empty duel arena.

The boy stumbled forward, but was easily dodged by Rand.

At the moment when Rand dodged sideways, the boy stepped heavily, then suddenly twisted his waist and stabbed back.

clatter--

There was the crisp sound of wooden swords clashing. The boy's plan still failed and was easily blocked by Rand. Moreover, due to excessive physical exertion, the wooden sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Lost, the boy thought.

Then I saw Rand kick the fallen wooden sword in front of me, and I heard from afar Viscount Rand's usual calm voice without even a breath: "Pick it up."

The young man looked at the blood oozing from the knuckles of his hands, dripping onto the ground and forming drops of blood on the flat ground.

He picked up the sword with trembling hands, but it was already difficult to hold the sword.

Rand looked at the girl standing behind the boy. There seemed to be tears in the girl's eyes, and she looked tearful.

It's definitely not because he feels sorry for Rand, but because he feels sorry for the young man.

Free love was not popular at all in this era, but Rand thought about it carefully and felt that the two of them were a good match. He would send a letter to ask Earl Stag and Earl Leaf. If they had no objection, Rand would not force them to break up.

Now.

Rand dropped the sword in his hand and fell to the ground in a very coping posture: "I give up."

The boy actually had tinnitus and couldn't hear what Rand said at all. He didn't know why Rand lay down, and when he wanted to run over to check on the situation, he couldn't stand for a moment and fell directly to the ground.

Then I didn’t have the strength to get up.

The girl who had been watching the fight behind the boy also rushed up with her skirt lifted up, knelt on the ground, let the boy rest his head on her legs, gently wiped the stains on the boy's face with a handkerchief, and tears dripped on the boy's face.

Rand lay on the ground with his head raised. He looked at the girl and the boy and rolled his eyes. Although the rules did not allow physical contact, he was now ready to play dead.

The ground was relatively flat, so it was quite uncomfortable to lie on. Rand raised his head and looked at Olenna eagerly.

Olenna covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, but she only nudged Ellie with her elbow.

Ellie was shy and did not come over. After all, there were many noble boys and girls watching here. In name, Rand was still single and had no engagement.

If she came over now, wouldn't it be like having an affair with Rand? But she looked at the boy lying on the other side and the girl kneeling, and felt that Rand should also be treated like this, so she slowly walked over. Just as she bent her knees and was about to kneel down to provide Rand with a lap pillow, Rand had already stood up.

Rand waved one hand up and down a few times and said to the boy and girl, "Pay attention, the rule is no physical contact."

Originally he didn't want to intervene, but it looked like they were going to kiss, so he had to stand up to stop it.

The girl and boy, who had been trying to act as if no one was around, suddenly became shy. After resting for a while, the boy finally had the strength to stand up, and the girl stood up with him.

Rand felt a little jealous for a moment. It was very rare in this era to have such an enviable and naive love at such an age.

"Ahem." Rand coughed twice, then said, "In short, you win. You get to spend a day alone with the first place winner."

Although Rand's face was stern again, he finally felt that although he was young, his mentality seemed a little old: "But not today. Be careful these days and go back to your own living areas, otherwise I will regret it."

The boy and the girl both nodded.

Rand looked at the people watching the battle and waved his hand again: "Okay, okay, it's all over. Stop watching and go back to your own business."

The people watching the battle immediately dispersed, leaving only Olenna to stay beside Rand as his personal bodyguard.

Rand and Olenna walked slowly toward the lord's hall on the mountain.

Olena asked suddenly, "Are you envious of them?"
