Lordaeron's city defense camp is much larger than I imagined. The camp is open-air, and the ground is wet with snow. Training dummies with open arms are neatly inserted on the training ground, giving people the impression of thousands of troops. Horse feeling.
Those training dummies were not made of wood or bamboo, but of real fine iron. When I got closer, I could see dense knife marks on them.
"Please wait here for a while, I'll go find Lord Isenlien." The messenger nodded to me and ran away quickly.
Perhaps the knights have all gone out on duty, and the training camp seems very empty at the moment, with only a handful of people waving knives in front of the dummies.
Suddenly, a heavy hitting sound attracted my attention.
"Drink!" someone growled.
boom
A string of dazzling sparks splashed out from the dummy, and several afterimages trembled.
I found him. He was a young man with brown hair. His hair was very stiff and stood up toward the sky. Even on such a snowy day, he was only wearing a thin linen shirt with his cuffs rolled up high. The staggered scars on his arms were exposed.
After noticing my gaze, he glanced at me and nodded politely, "I am Maxwell Tyrosus. Miss, may I ask your name?"
His eyes were bright, as sharp as the sharp blade in his hand.
This man gave me a very upright feeling, so I smiled at him and said, "I am Messiah Rubio, and my father is Sir Joffrey Rubio of Gavin Heights."
"Rubio? Your hair color has nothing to do with this name." Unexpectedly, a hoarse voice took over, "I guess... you should be a centaur among a group of dryads and jungle guardians. .”
A group of dryads and centaurs among the guardians of the jungle?
As long as you have heard some night elf legends, who doesn't know what they mean? !
The Dryad and the Guardian of the Jungle are the daughters and sons of Zaltar, the son of the demigod, and the centaur... is his illegitimate son!
That sentence made me stop smiling and turned my head angrily. In the corner of the camp, I saw a man with long blond hair and a sickly pale face under his slightly messy bangs. In addition, he also had a pair of sharp ears. Was he... a high elf?
At this moment, he was looking at me on the training dummy's shoulder. To be honest, if he hadn't made a sound, I wouldn't have realized there was a person there.
I have to admit that like all high elves, he has a handsome and feminine face and a pair of eyes that glow green, but his eyes are like a cold hawk. I hated his gaze, because he kept staring at my chest. Under that penetrating gaze, even if I was wearing Selin's thick cloak, I felt as if I was wearing nothing.
Besides, what the hell was that guy talking about just now? !
"Fernando! Don't go too far!" Maxwell shouted displeasedly. He seemed to want to step forward, but was faintly blocked by several people around him.
"How could I go too far for a little centaur?" The high elf known as Fernando sneered disdainfully.
His mouth was like a centaur, which made me really angry, even though I didn't mind others calling me an illegitimate child behind my back!
"If you don't know how to strike up a conversation? Why don't you just keep your mouth shut?"
"Oh~" Fernando slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, and the dagger in his hand turned into a bright sword in mid-air, and then was accurately inserted into the leather holster on his waist. The series of movements were experienced and smooth.
"I'm just guessing, why are you so angry? Or is my guess right on the target?" Before he finished speaking, he threw the flying knife towards the distant target without looking back, and the tip of the knife hit the bright red bull's-eye.
I frowned.
I saw the high elf suddenly jumped from the training dummy. When I subconsciously looked at where he landed, I found that I had missed the point. Turning around, I found that he was putting his hands in his pockets. Another drop point came all the way to me.
Dance of death? !
I was a little surprised, but mostly annoyed. I slowly narrowed my eyes and bit my lips, but he deliberately ignored my gaze. His sharp gaze was always looking directly at my chest, bone-deep and bold.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly panicked and subconsciously held the hem of my clothes, “Didn’t your father teach you not to stare at girls like this? Sissy?”
"My father taught me that you should take off a girl's clothes when necessary."
"When you stare at a girl taking off her clothes, do you ever feel that you in the mirror actually have everything a girl has?"
"Do you want to give it a try? I believe that at that time, you must be more beautiful than me. You see, I can guess your bulging breasts, thin waist, and strong thighs under your clothes..."
I was sure I was angry. Subconsciously, I held down the dagger at my waist. The next second, I rushed towards him like a gust of wind. At that moment, he was only ten steps away from me!
The dagger drew a silvery white line in the air, and was pulled straight towards his chin with blue-gray stubble. But just when I was about to succeed, he suddenly reached out and my dagger slammed into his. Leather wristband.
I immediately raised my dagger and attacked him again. This time at a very skewed angle, it narrowly missed his right rib, but he raised his eyebrows and used his wrist guard to block my attack again.
When I couldn't hit again, I immediately retreated and jumped up, but Fernando actually followed behind me, and his movements were as close as my shadow!
I was shocked and immediately twisted in mid-air. The death dance made me fall onto a training dummy nearby, while Fernando landed opposite me.
"Huh?" His eyes finally broke away from my chest, and for the first time, they fell seriously on my face. "Do it again, little centaur." After thinking for a while, he said with interest. Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards me, and his menacing momentum made me understand that if I didn't avoid it, I would definitely be caught by him! And after being caught by him, I can't guess how he plans to humiliate me yet.
I kicked hard on the ground, and this time I escaped his hand again.
He opened his eyes and looked at his hands covered in black leather gloves with a hint of surprise. Then he showed a big smile and said, "Let's do it again!" He rushed over again, even faster than the last time. , seemed to bring out the sound of breaking the wind.
I held my breath and used my death dance to escape again, only he was closer to me.
"Oh! Come again!" He smiled and showed his teeth! This time, he suddenly disappeared!
What? !
I was stunned for a moment, and then I jumped into the air hastily, but it was too late. When I landed, he was already in front of me, and his face was infinitely magnified in my pupils!
I took a breath, and the dagger stabbed his throat with a sound of wind. He stretched out his hand slightly and grabbed my wrist. His strength should not be underestimated, I couldn't move at all under his grip!
I gritted my teeth and stretched out my other hand to grab his dagger, but was caught halfway by his other hand.
I struggled hard, but couldn't break free from his calloused hands.
He held my wrists together forcefully, asking me to hold the dagger upward, and then suddenly lifted it up! For a moment, my heart jumped into my mouth. You know, at that moment, the tip of my dagger was under my chin!
"Oh!" I exclaimed, throwing my head back.
I heard a snort, and I felt a lightness on my body. Serin's thick cloak slipped off my shoulders. The cold air suddenly penetrated the thin clothes, making me tremble slightly.
The knife did not touch my skin, but cut through the knot of the cloak.
I took a big breath, and the next second, I was furious. However, Fernando held my hands up, and my toes were dangerously on the ground, unable to fight back! That terrible feeling made me feel like all the blood in my body was rushing to the top of my head!
"Let me go!" I gritted my teeth.
The high elf looked at me from top to bottom. His eyes were cold, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was extremely evil. He slowly lowered his head, and I could feel him deliberately breathing into my collar, " Just as big as I guessed..."
"Get away from me! Bastard!" I yelled angrily.
"That's enough! Fernando!" Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly rang.
A bolt of golden lightning suddenly fell from the sky. If Fernando hadn't let go of me immediately and took a few steps back, he would have been struck so hard that his hair stood on end.
boom
Golden lightning blasted a smoking pit in front of my toes.
The heat wave rolled over my ankles, and I immediately took a few steps back and shook my painful wrists.
"You bully girls, aren't you afraid that your sun will never rise?" Following the direction of the voice, I saw a young man wearing a priest's hat. He was tall and holding a thick holy book in his right hand. Classic, the white robe worn on him has a special sacred flavor. When he walked towards us, the golden holy light rippled around him like water waves.
"I have already fallen into the arms of the shadows, okay?" The high elf shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Give me this girl, I like her."
"Oh, that requires her consent, but I guess she already hates you to death." As he said that, the priest hat stood in front of me with a smile, "Hello, Miss Rubio, I hope you are not shocked." He took off his hat and greeted me, his movements were elegant, calm and impeccable, "I am Isenlien, and I will be in charge of your daily life for the time being."
I looked at him, then turned back and glared at Fernando who was still staring at me unscrupulously, "What do you mean by giving me to him?! Lord Isenlien?! Are you really going to do this?!"
"Oh, of course not. I support you in giving him a good lesson, and I am also happy to form an alliance with you, but to be honest, he is not easy to deal with." He smiled and shook his hand. That letter of recommendation, suddenly, I noticed that his chic smile froze slightly, and following his gaze, I saw the ring on the index finger of my left hand.
Does he seem to recognize it?
Before I could ask, he turned around and made an inviting gesture, "I have met your father, Miss Rubio, but I have to say that you are much more beautiful than your father. Come with me." Bian, I think you should meet your instructor."
"Don't forget my name, little Centaur Miss." Unexpectedly, Fernando's hoarse voice rolled past my ear clearly, obviously he was still ten steps away from me, "I am Fernando Zhufeng." I He immediately picked up the cloak on the ground and followed Isenlien without looking back.
