The battle didn't last long.
The final result was that Rean used the borrowed red sword to knock away Laura's steel sword.
"I lost." Laura looked at her hands blankly for a while before a trace of annoyance emerged.
"It's not a loss." Li En shook his head.
"No need to comfort me. If you lose, you lose."
"I know you are not a sore loser, but this time I really didn't say that I wanted to 'turn into you' as a consolation. In fact, I borrowed part of the principal's sword in the end."
"Eh?"
"How should I put it? You are progressing very quickly. It would be a pity to end like this, so I can't help but want to see where your limits are."
Rean's realm is there. Even if he transforms into "Laura", he still has enough energy to do more analysis.
Laura was completely immersed in the world of swords as she fought.
But Rean could see clearly that with every turn, Laura's sword would undergo subtle changes.
The use of terrain, the perception of airflow, and the coordination with breathing are not much each time, but the accumulation is considerable, and it becomes more obvious as you go to the back.
By almost the middle of the game, Rean had already figured out when the Laura he had transformed into would be defeated.
It doesn't matter if you lose, but once you lose, Laura's selfless state will end. In order to make the most of this opportunity, Rean began to secretly add ingredients.
Continuously improving her own strength, always making herself stronger than Laura, bī) she kept surpassing until Laura squeezed out all her potential and reached her limit.
After listening to Rean's explanation, Laura didn't speak. She folded her hands and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing this, Li En asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Isn't it because I'm angry because I took the initiative on my own?"
"Of course not. It's too late for me to thank you for working so hard for me... I was just thinking, have you been able to 'transform' into General Alleria? Her secret..."
"You think too highly of me. I can only imitate a strong person like that, but it's far from the essence."
"No, no, Rean, you are too humble, you are obviously a good imitator."
A rich female voice sounded, and the door of the passage opened to both sides, and an incomparably domineering woman walked in. It was Alleria they mentioned.
"General, long-awaited greetings." Laura took a step forward and bowed her head slightly to show respect. "I'm very sorry for using this place without telling you."
"It doesn't matter, Rean has already greeted me." Alleria waved her hand grandly, "I am no longer a general. According to the name of 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style', you can call me senior sister. I like this title. of."
"Senior sister." Laura was not a pretentious person and directly changed her words, "Senior sister is here."
"I came here specifically to see you, a disciple of the Alseid style. You are the one I am most optimistic about. I want to know how far you are. By the way, I also want to see what Rean borrowed my sword for?"
Having said this, Alleria glared at Rean.
"Luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have made a mistake."
"Made a mistake? What mistake?" Rean was confused.
"There are guidance devices that collect data everywhere in the small fortress. When Dr. Schmidt sees the data, your secret will be exposed immediately. Although he is the consultant of the second branch, I still can't guess his position. I can't rule him out. There is the possibility of transferring your data.”
"I have made arrangements for this. Tida will help me revise it later. I deliberately chose to come in when the doctor is not around."
Hearing this answer, Alleria let out a strange laugh: "I knew you were popular a long time ago, but I didn't expect that even Liber's international students would be won over by you. It seems that I was unnecessary."
"It's not what you think." Rean looked helpless. He couldn't handle this kind of teasing.
Tida didn't need to win over her. She told them the names of Agathe, Estelle, Joshua, and Ling. She immediately regarded Rean as one of her own. It was easy for Rean to ask her for a small favor.
"What's that like? Forget it, you won't tell me if I ask, so I won't ask."
Alleria is a smart person and knows how to give up when things are good.
"Laura, if you are interested in my sword, you don't need to ask Rean, just come to me directly and I can demonstrate it to you."
After saying that, she took back her red sword from Rean.
But Laura waved her hand: “Thank you, senior sister, let’s forget it this time, I don’t have much energy left, and I have to leave some for evening activities before the train departs.”
"Don't worry about this. I will also participate in the evening activities. You take my car... and in the rest of the time, go to the student dormitory to take a shower and change clothes. There is a large bathtub specially built by me in the dormitory, which is very comfortable. "
"Excuse me for disturbing you. Then I'll ask Senior Sister for advice on swordsmanship first, and then I'll ask Senior Sister for advice on some issues regarding the territory."
Starting this year, Laura has begun trying to take over the territory in preparation for succeeding to the Viscount.
Government work and sword practice are two different things. Laura is good at sword practice, but she has no talent in this area and is full of problems.
Although she was assisted by her old butler Klaus, Laura still felt a little powerless, so she came to Rean to complain and listen to his opinions.
Of course, now that Alleria is here, it would be more appropriate to ask her for advice.
Because Rean also has no experience in running a territory, Schwarzer is only a baron, and the Le Guin family is a count. Alleria has officially inherited the title and territory of her family and has been running it well.
Warriors, generals, and good lords, Alleria has them all. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the best person to ask for advice.
Alleria did not disappoint her junior sister.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not good at managing territory, in fact I’m not good at it either.
Just remember one thing, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, and don't make trouble. Leave the work to those who are good at it, and you will find that everything is so simple.
"In a word, people. You have to learn to recruit talents. I have always said that I want you to come under my command. This is also a kind of recruiting talents. The lord is the commander-in-chief of the territory. You don't have to do everything yourself. Once you have your own team, you can You can do what you like like me.”
"But I don't have the talent in this field for the time being, nor do I have my own team." Laura looked a little distressed.
"Who said there are none?" Alleria smiled, "Talent does not have to be subordinates, it can also be friends and connections. Don't you have one of the best connections in the entire empire?"
"Class vii?"
"That's right. Let's not talk about others. The eldest lady of the Lionfoot Society and the young master of Regnitz are all talented in this field. You can ask them for help. Even if they can't help you manage the territory, they can still help you. Find the right people.”
"I understand." Laura suddenly understood, "Thank you, senior sister. Well, senior sister can be considered a kind of network?"
"Of course, I learn quickly. However, the most valuable connection in Class VII is indeed Li Enshuihua... Every time I see him, I want him to be mine. If I still have a military position , I have to take him away."
"I won't let you succeed!" Laura expressed solemnity and looked at Alleria seriously.
Alleria chuckled and did not answer. With her eyes wandering, she inadvertently looked at the wall on one side.
It was a topic of territory on the bathroom partition, and the two women were discussing it while taking a bath.
On the other side of the partition wall, Rean was soaking alone in the bathtub, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Please, can you choose a time to discuss this topic when I'm not around? f
