After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Maybe one day in the future, this effort will bring him some... unexpected gains.

Moreover, even if there is not much gain, it is okay to regard these efforts as physical exercise. There is nothing wrong with it anyway.

Murphy set a goal for himself: to swing the sword for an hour every day.

Don't think this time is short, because swinging the sword is not just standing still and simply swinging the sword up and down.

Taking the sword swinging that Filia had taught me before as an example, the most common action is the straight strike, which is to move the sword forward and backward at the same time;

There is also a half-moon, which requires you to take a bow step while swinging the sword, or to swing the sword continuously while maintaining a bow step.

Other movements include waist cutting, jumping swing, and bunny hop.

In short, there are many ways to swing a sword, and all of these movements consume a lot of physical strength.

So one hour is already a very scary concept.

Not to mention that in swordsmanship training, Murphy pays more attention to quality than quantity.

Simply put, every time he strikes, he needs to understand what he has just done.

Think quickly about what you did right and what you did wrong, then correct it, swing the sword again, analyze again, and improve again.

In this kind of training, the body might be able to hold on for three hours, but if you keep using your brain like this, you won't be able to bear it for half an hour.

If you just do mindless repetitive training, it will not help improve your skills much except for increasing muscle endurance.

And the most common result is that incorrect movements will inadvertently develop bad habits, which will also wear out the joints.

Of course, because there was a duel at noon, Murphy did not overwork himself.

If he can complete all the above steps within an hour, then he should not fight today and can just lie on the ground and admit defeat.

He was now just performing the simplest sword swings to keep his body in the best condition and to give himself an excellent feel.

To put it simply, it is actually a warm-up.

"call--"

Murphy let out a long sigh and wiped away the little bit of sweat that seeped out of her forehead.

My body is gradually warming up, and I feel in very good condition now.

Well, time to go to old Jed's.

Murphy wiped his body briefly, put on his armor, hung up his sword which was already in the scabbard, and left his house.

-------------------------------------

By the time Murphy arrived at the familiar alley, Old Jed was already sitting in his seat smoking a pipe.

After seeing Murphy appear at the entrance of the alley, Old Jed put down his pipe, smiled and nodded to him.

As for the person who had an appointment with Murphy, Filia, although they agreed to meet at noon, she also arrived here early.

At this moment, she was sitting next to old Jed, concentrating on polishing her sword, and did not notice Murphy who had arrived.

Murphy was the last one to arrive.

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, because the scheduled time was noon, and it was still a long time before noon.

So even though I was the last one to arrive, I still came early to keep the appointment.

Murphy felt that she had qualities, and she had a lot of them.

But now, there was one thing that made him feel a little surprised.

That is to say, there is a fourth person besides the three of them.

The fourth person was actually Candice. She was still wearing her gray hat and carrying a huge wand that was very valuable and totally incompatible with her height.

However, Candice is still a little different from before.

Her grey robe that completely covered her body had now completely disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by a gray, half-sleeved, off-shoulder halter dress with a black bow tied at the chest and some beautiful pleats on the sleeves.

The hem of the skirt reached her knees and went up a little bit.

Overall, the fabric used for this skirt is very high-end and comfortable, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, so the price will definitely not be low.

He is indeed a rich magician... Murphy sighed slightly in his heart, and then re-examined Candice's changes.

Her fair skin, which had been hidden under the gray robe, was now glowing slightly under the sunlight.

But at the same time, the fierce sun also made her delicate skin, which had never experienced the ravages of the sun, slightly red.

At this moment, Candice was sitting next to Filia, looking around anxiously.

Therefore, she quickly discovered Murphy standing at the entrance of the alley.

After seeing Murphy, Candice was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

She stood up suddenly and greeted Murphy timidly: "Mr. Murphy! Hello!"

"Well, hello, Miss Candice."

After hesitating for a moment, Murphy nodded to Candice.

He really didn't expect that Candice would appear here at first.

But it’s not difficult to guess why she is here. After all, she and Filia have always had a very good relationship, and they even teamed up to go into the maze together.

So in Murphy's opinion, it was normal for Candice to know about the agreement between herself and Filia.

Thinking of this, he turned and looked at Filia again.

And Filia also noticed Murphy because of Candice's previous big move.

She stopped polishing her sword, looked up at Murphy, then turned to look at Candice who had stood up, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

After seeing her expression, Murphy nodded in understanding.

It seems that Candice's appearance here is indeed related to her.

...But never mind, let's just stay here.

After all, isn't Candice the cause of this incident?

Chapter 53 I'm Really Pulling

Filia looked at Murphy's expression as if he knew everything, and suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

......But isn't there anything that can be done about it?

Filia quietly excused herself in her heart.

Although it was indeed Filia's fault that Candice came here, she really had no good solution.

So there is actually nothing wrong with the excuses she makes for herself.

The thing is, ever since she returned to Candice's place that day, Candice has been asking questions.

Ask her where she went today;

Ask her if she went to look for Murphy today;

Ask her if she has done anything bad to Murphy;

Ask her...

And even when they were adventuring in the maze, Candice kept chasing her and asking questions.

Of course, she asked this question when there was no fighting. Although Candice really wanted to know what Filia had done, she was not a person without sense of propriety.

However, while measured, it is also somewhat extreme.

Because even if Filia swore in front of her on the name of the Reinhard family, saying that she really had not done anything strange to Murphy.

She was also not very reassured, because she felt that if nothing had really happened, then it shouldn't be a big deal to tell herself.

Why do you have to be so secretive? It's really weird.

So the more Filia was reluctant to speak, the deeper her suspicion became.

Candice's slightly suspicious look made Filia feel her heart was broken.

My pig... No, my cabbage was eaten up by the pig.

And because of this cabbage, she kept doubting herself because of this pig.

This was probably the feeling that appeared in Filia's mind.

However, the reason she was reluctant to speak was actually that she just didn't want Candice to worry.

After all, no matter what, the two protagonists of this duel, one is the person Candice just fell in love with, and the other is a friend she has known for a long time, so Filia has been reluctant to say,

Otherwise, if I tell it to others and Candice finds out the truth, she will definitely try to stop the fight between me and Murphy.

Wouldn’t that mean that all the duels that I had worked so hard to arrange would be ruined?

Ok.

In fact, when Filia was taken to the Labyrinth City the day before yesterday, she had already believed 80% of what Candice said at the beginning.

But the time and place of the duel have already been agreed upon, so it’s not easy for me to cancel it casually, right?

Isn't this a sign of lack of credibility?!

Doesn't this go against the teachings of the Reinhard family?!

Besides, I only believed 80%, so there is still 20% that I didn’t believe, right?

So let Murphy and I decide the last 20% in this final, glorious battle!

It's definitely not because of any selfish desire to fight with an unexpectedly strong person that I encountered.

Absolutely not!

However, although Filia has always been suspected, she has never said it out loud, and Candice has no way of knowing about the duel.

Until this morning.

Because Filia has been staying at Candice's house for the past few days, and she and Candice sleep in the same bedroom.

So the slight noises she made when she got up this morning woke Candice up early.

You know, Candice usually sleeps in, and she's the kind that's hard to wake up.

However, Filia didn't care too much about it. After all, it was normal to get up early twice occasionally.

However, things started to go wrong afterwards.

Because after Candice got up, she started following Filia without stopping.

Whether it is washing, going to the toilet, eating, or anything else.

No matter what she does, Candice is always following her, and they are inseparable.

After seeing Candice's abnormal behavior, Filia knew that something had happened. She must have let the cat out of the bag last night.

Before going to bed last night, Filia told her that she had some private family matters to deal with tomorrow, so they would not go into the maze together. They would go together again after she had dealt with them.

In fact, she just didn't want Candice to worry about her sudden disappearance, just like a parent telling his child what he was going to do before going out.

Moreover, she used her family affairs as an excuse and did not mention Murphy at all.

In addition, Candice's cute and silly behavior in front of her all along made her never think that Candice would see through her lies.

A woman in love has an IQ of 0, regardless of whether this saying is correct or not.

But even under the correct premise, the level of intelligence depends on who you are in front of.

Although my IQ is 0 in front of the person I like.

But if you are in front of a love rival or someone who poses a threat to the person you like, how high your IQ must be?

Not to mention that as a talented magician, Candice couldn't possibly be a fool.

It was just that her constant act of needing to be taken care of by others deceived Filia's eyes and made her forget all these things.

All these results have led to the current situation.

Moreover, the method Candice used on Filia was actually similar to the method Filia used in front of Old Jed before.

One is to stay here and wait for Murphy to come;

One is to follow you to find Murphy.
