“Ding~ding~”
In the evening, in the backyard of Pedro's manor, Lynn was holding a wooden sword and struggling to resist the girl's continuous attacks.
Although he was mentally prepared, Ivana's ruthlessness still surprised Lynn. She didn't hold back in any of her moves and attacked the vital points with all her might. It was more like a life-and-death battle than a practice.
After the twenty-first move, the brown-haired girl slashed horizontally again, knocking the sword in Lin En's hand to the ground.
After several rounds of fighting that lasted for nearly an hour, both Lynn and Ivana had reached their limits. Their arms and shoulders hidden under their clothes were bruised and blue, and their physical strength was almost exhausted.
Lin En, who was not good at close combat, ultimately failed to break Lotte's record. Pedro, who was watching, didn't care much. He could see that Ivina's swordsmanship had improved a little, so it was normal for her to lose.
What made him even happier was that Lin En finally listened to his words and was no longer as restrained during the battle as before, but fought with more vigor.
"Stop, that's all for today." Baron Pedro waved his hand and called a halt to the fight. A hint of a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
"Very good, my son. You have finally gotten the hang of it. Just follow this method and continue to practice diligently. You will have a 70% chance of passing the test."
There are two more vacancies in this year's knight assessment, and the standards will definitely be lowered a lot. In addition, I donate a lot of money to the church pastor on a daily basis, so I should be able to make some concessions when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Pedro's mood improved a little, and then he turned to look at Ivana and spoke.
"Ivana, your swordsmanship is great, but you can stop practicing it for now and spend your time on other things."
"The son of the Duke of Nordland is indeed obsessed with swordsmanship, but if you act too aggressively, it will easily offend others..."
Pedro taught Ivina very carefully how to use the same interests to attract the attention of the Duke's son and maintain his pitiful self-esteem.
Pedro was very satisfied with his daughter. Not only was she very beautiful, but she also had an excellent talent for swordsmanship. If he could use this as an opportunity to marry her to the eldest son of the Duke of Nordland, then the family would have the possibility of reviving in his hands.
Listening to Pedro's words, Ivana gritted her teeth, her delicate face full of resentment and resentment.
However, Pedro failed to notice the girl's expression, and after giving her some instructions, he did not stay any longer.
In view of the riots caused by the devil's followers, many big shots who are not usually seen appeared in Harbor Town. This is a very good opportunity to show up! After the baron left, Lin En looked at the brown-haired girl in front of him with a little pity.
To be able to have such a strong level of swordsmanship at the age of sixteen, Ivana must have worked hard. I'm afraid she wanted to win her father's recognition and change her own destiny.
Unfortunately, Pedro has always regarded his daughter as a tool to curry favor with the powerful.
Maybe after I leave, Ivana's situation will be better.
Lin En thought about it, put away the wooden sword in his hand, carefully considered his words, and prepared to say a few words of comfort to fulfill his responsibility as a brother.
He remembered from his diary that Lotte was still very concerned about his sister.
But before Lin En could speak, Ivana raised her head and said coldly.
"Are you finally going to do something to me, my brother?"
…
I didn't expect that the relationships in a small baronial mansion could be so complicated.
“Forget it. This is not my business.” Lin En shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he was only borrowing Lotte’s identity temporarily and was not a family mediator, otherwise it would definitely be a headache.
In comparison, he was more concerned about the devil followers that Pedro mentioned that the Holy See had captured on the way back.
Lynn couldn't be sure whether the man was Johnny or White Dove, or whether both of them were captured by the Vatican.
But one thing is certain, Anluk, who had suffered a great loss at his hands, has made full preparations. A full 3,000-strong guard army is secretly stationed in and around the harbor town, and it is very likely that they are targeting him.
It is estimated that in a few days the Vatican will spread the news that the devil's followers will be executed in public after Sunday to attract him to rescue people.
Lin En thought about how he had plunged into the trap of the Holy See without any preparation, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Apart from anything else, if a thousand crossbowmen fired at him in unison, he would immediately turn into a hedgehog.
Breaking the prison in advance is a good idea. After all, he can use transformation magic and makeup techniques to sneak in.
As long as he knew exactly who the arrested person was and which cell he was in, Lin En would be confident that he could rescue him...
Then we need to consider how to escape from the harbor town.
The more Lin En thought about it, the more troubled he became. He was not the real Carl, and he had no emotional basis with Johnny and the others. However, they had experienced life and death together after all, so he still planned to save them if possible.
"071, is there anything that can allow me to fight against three thousand elite soldiers?" Lin En asked in his mind.
The next moment, a whole list immediately appeared in his eyes.
[Dongfeng 180 missiles, plasma rail guns, antimatter bombs, high-energy rays, galaxy-class long-distance battleships...]
"I only have a few days, change it to something reliable!" Lin En was speechless. If he could come up with these things, he would have kicked the Pope out of office long ago and transformed this dark alien world into the bright Middle Ages.
With this request, the list that was dozens of meters long was immediately reduced to a few lines. Lin En was soon attracted by a picture on it. His mind immediately associated it with something he had seen in the harbor store before. He actually forgot about this thing.
After thinking for a moment, Lin En immediately had a plan in mind, but it was obviously impossible for him to take care of everything by himself, so it would be better to find some reliable allies.
Cripple Laud...
The familiar name once again popped into Lin En's mind. This was the easiest help he could get in Harbor Town. The other party was deeply involved with the wizards, and the probability of betrayal was extremely low.
Then the remaining question is how to catch this hiding old fox!
