Chapter 14 The Invitation of the Head Maid
Just when Ryan was feeling bad about that one point of experience, a beautiful maid in a gray maid outfit came up to him and said,
"Ryan, Head Maid Shadiya asked you to go to the back garden."
Hmm?
Ryan was stunned, but after a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
"George, then you go back first, remember to tell my parents that I might be late, so they can have dinner first and don't have to wait for me."
George, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded, but was very confused in his heart, when did Ryan meet Head Maid Shadiya.
You know, the head maid is a senior servant, and her status in the Habsburg manor is second only to the butler and the chief financial officer.
After a while, Ryan followed the maid, crossed the tall back door of the castle, and came to the back garden of the castle for the first time.
"Ryan, please come in, Head Maid Shadiya is inside." The beautiful maid smiled and withdrew.
Ryan bowed slightly, as a way of thanking the maid for leading the way.
At this time, he already had some guesses in his mind.
But some things can only be confirmed when they are revealed.
When Ryan stepped into the back garden, the lady standing by the flowers, who was about 40 years old, was the head maid of the manor, Xia Diya.
She was wearing a black maid outfit, with a serious expression, and looked a little serious.
But the protagonist in the back garden was not the head maid.
It was the noble girl in a tight hunting suit not far from her, in the center of the garden!
At this time, she was concentrating on waving the two-handed sword in her hand, as if she was comprehending some kind of swordsmanship.
This immediately surprised Ryan!
He didn't expect that he would attract the attention of this big man.
He always thought that it was good enough for him to get the attention of Humbert, the swordsmanship instructor.
To be more exaggerated, it would be even better to get the attention of Lord Lloyd, the steward and knight of the Habsburg Manor!
But he didn't expect that he could actually get the attention of the noble girl!
Ryan also heard about the other party's identity. She was the youngest daughter of the Earl's family. Her honor was much higher than that of Lord Lloyd, the steward and knight of the Habsburg Manor.
"Ryan, there are swords over there. Pick one and attack me!" The noble girl Claire stopped moving and turned to Ryan.
If Ryan hadn't expected this, he would have been panicked at this moment.
"Yes, Miss Claire."
When Ryan walked to the weapon rack on the side, he found that the swords here were all sharp steel long swords, including short swords, knight long swords, half-handed swords and even two-handed swords, etc., all available, and they all looked quite good in quality.
After thinking about it, Ryan picked a knight long sword that was about the same length as the ironwood sword he used in training, and stepped into the center of the garden and stood still.
This was the first time he had picked up such a sharp cold weapon, whether in his previous life or this life, and he was about to "fight" with someone. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous.
"If you're ready, let's start." Claire smiled slightly, and the two-handed sword in her hand was just replaced with a one-and-a-half-handed sword.
Ryan nodded.
"Shua!"
Claire slashed at Ryan with a sword, and Ryan instinctively blocked it with the strong sword.
"Dang!" The sound of metal clashing came.
But this was just the beginning. Claire followed with a swish, swish, swish, a very fast three-hit combo!
Suddenly, Ryan's pupils shrank and he retreated violently!
But even if he kept retreating, he was still struggling to resist and had no chance to counterattack!
Three seconds later, Claire's sword stayed at Ryan's neck!
Three seconds!
Only lasted three seconds!
In this sparring with Claire, Ryan only resisted for three seconds and was quickly defeated.
This was the result of Claire deliberately letting him win while keeping her physical fitness similar to Ryan's!
Ryan also felt this. After all, he had seen the other party swinging a two-handed sword weighing 70 or 80 pounds, which was no different from swinging a wooden stick.
However, the three-second sparring brought Ryan:
[Your basic swordsmanship skill has been improved, experience points +15]
[You have experienced a battle, militia professional experience points +4]
[Congratulations, your militia professional level has been improved! ]
[Remaining attribute points: 1]
[Remaining skill points: 1]
"You have learned basic swordsmanship well, which is rare among child servants. You have a certain talent for swordsmanship, but you can't say you are the best." The girl looked up and glanced at Ryan and said.
"Unfortunately, your physical fitness is really poor. If you want to become a formal knight, your hope is not very high."
"It seems that I thought too much. It is really difficult to find an ordinary person with the potential to be a knight." Claire said with a hint of disappointment.
Wait, who is this looking down on?
The look in the eyes of the noble girl at this time made Ryan understand why women are the driving force for men to work hard!
"Wait a minute, Miss Claire, I want to try again. Can you give me another chance?" Ryan looked up and looked at the girl with a burning gaze and said seriously.
"Oh? Are you still okay?"
The girl looked at Ryan with a smile.
At this moment, Ryan really wanted to tell Claire loudly that when a beautiful woman asked a man if he could do it, would the man give the second answer?
Of course he could!
Without further hesitation, Ryan immediately added the attribute points that he had just upgraded to Militia Level 2 to Agility!
The only thing that can defeat martial arts in the world is speed!
Just now, it was because Claire's sword speed was too fast, so fast that he had no time to react.
When Agility increased from 6 points to 7 points, suddenly, a stream of heat was pumped out from the heart and quickly rushed to the whole body. In an instant, Ryan felt that he was full of strength again.
This is the good thing about adding points, it can restore all the physical strength every time!
The girl wanted to refuse, but after looking at the resolute eyes of Ryan when he got up again, she nodded and said, "Okay! But this is your last chance."
Ryan leaned forward slightly, and the next second.
"Shua!"
Ryan's stride speed was at least 20% faster, which immediately surprised Claire.
"Ding!"
Ryan's physical strength was fully restored, and his agility was improved a little, and he was familiar with the steel sword in his hand through the previous battle.
Under the influence of several factors, his combat effectiveness this time was a whole level higher than before.
Huh? This kind of strength.
The girl was more and more surprised as she fought.
"Ding ding dang dang!" The two of them fought quickly!
The maid Shadiya on the side also looked at Ryan with a change of eyes, from calm to surprised!
"Stop!"
The girl shook her sword and said after repelling Ryan.
"Very good, Ryan, you can go back first."
Now it was Ryan who was a little confused. Was this recognition or disapproval of himself?
He also deliberately left a few skill points. If Claire was still not satisfied, then he would... But
now that the other party had expressed such an attitude, Ryan could only bow slightly and said, "Goodbye, Miss Claire!"
Then, Ryan turned and left.
The girl looked deeply at Ryan's back as he left.
Originally, she had planned to give up, but she didn't expect Ryan to suddenly give her a surprise.
Judging from the other party's expression, even the strength he just displayed did not seem to be his upper limit. It seemed that he still had some reservations?
Interesting.
If this is the case, the other party is a knight seedling worth cultivating, but there is no rush. We still have to investigate the other party's background.
At this time, Shadiya, who was standing by, thought for a moment and asked with a hint of doubt:
"Miss, why do you value this Ryan?"
"Although Ryan seems to have good talent, both Master Dennis and Master Marcos are already third-level knight attendants, much stronger than Ryan, who is almost the same age."
In the eyes of the head maid, Ryan may have good talent, but it is too late to start knight training now!
She doesn't think Ryan has a chance to catch up with Dennis and Marcos.
But if Ryan's future is just to be trained as an ordinary guard, it is not worth his lady's trouble.
"Shadiya, Ryan is fundamentally different from them. Dennis is the son of Baron Norman. He has been practicing the knight breathing method passed down by his family since he was a child. With his current strength, he can only be said to have a medium to low talent." "
And Marcos is the son of the president of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce. He has been taking various potions to improve his quality since he was a child. Although his current progress seems to be quite fast, his potential has long been exhausted, and the possibility of being promoted to a formal knight is very low." Claire said slowly.
It was the first time that Xia Diya heard her young lady talk about this. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked,
"So you mean that this Ryan has great potential?"
