What can you do? Kill me? Or drive me away?

I have to say, this rogue-like method really left Filia helpless.

She couldn't possibly do these things to Candice, so she gave in and told Candice about her agreement with Murphy.

What if I didn't tell her? Wouldn't she come and see for herself?

I'm really pulling...

But who would have known that this sister who always needed my care would actually be better at pulling than me.

Thinking of this, Filia gave Murphy a strange expression that was a mixture of embarrassment and helplessness.

After seeing her expression, Murphy also showed a strange expression.

"This expression really doesn't suit you, Miss Filia. You should be more decisive." Murphy smiled in his heart.

It turns out that knowing the unknown side of people you are familiar with is such an interesting thing.

However, he didn't have time to think about these things.

Because Old Jed spoke.

He stood up and said calmly, "Now that everyone is here, let's start talking about what we talked about before."

Although his expression was calm, a hint of excitement inadvertently appeared in his words.

His own apprentice and that bastard's daughter.

Who will be the winner in the first clash between these two people?

Thinking of this, Old Jed unconsciously revealed an expression of waiting for a good show.

Chapter 54 The beast sleeping in the body awakens

"Now that everyone is here, let's start talking about what we talked about before."

After hearing what Old Jed said, both Murphy and Filia came out of their current emotions.

But there was a difference. Murphy turned his gaze to Old Jed, while Filia turned her gaze to Candice.

Although Filia had told Candice about the duel on the way, she didn't seem to react and didn't say anything. She just continued to follow Filia silently.

Candice seemed to notice Filia's gaze, and she shifted her gaze, which had been fixed on Murphy, to her good friend.

Of course she knew why Filia was looking at her at this time.

but......

Candice pursed her lips. She was very conflicted.

Indeed, Murphy is the person she likes, and Filia is her good friend, so she really doesn't want the two of them to conflict.

But...what qualifications do I have to stop it?

Candice looked away and looked deeply at Murphy's back again. He didn't notice Candice's gaze.

After watching it like this, Candice finally just sighed softly.

It's just my wishful thinking. What qualifications do I have to stop their decision?

She looked at Filia again and said, "I hope you can... not bleed..."

"If that's the case, then that's fine."

At the end of the day, Candice is still a sane person, and even though she acted a little pathetic before, she is still the Gray Hat.

Weakness is her inner self, and indifference is her disguise.

This indifference made others afraid to approach her, but it also brought her some benefits. For example, because no one approached her, she always liked to think when she was alone.

Or perhaps thinking is one of her characteristics.

After hearing Candice's intermittent words, Filia breathed a sigh of relief in a place where she couldn't see.

If she insists on stopping me, then I...

Like Candice, Filia turned to look at Murphy's back.

In fact, deep down, she basically believed what Murphy said.

But for Murphy, a strong man who can resist the legendary dragon, Filia really wants to experience his strength.

Moreover, the timing of his appearance was a bit... In short, Filia really didn't want to give up this opportunity.

But even so, if Candice really wanted to stop it, she would probably choose to give up after endless entanglement.

Even if this might be her only chance in this life.

Candice and Filia kept staring at Murphy's back.

But Murphy had no idea that the two people behind him had so much going on in their minds.

His thought was: since everyone is here, why not start the fight early? The sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day. We haven't even swung our sword yet.

Besides, no matter what, this small goal of swinging the sword was just set yesterday, so if I give up today... well, I will still feel a little embarrassed.

I'm thin-skinned, there's nothing I can do about it.

Old Jed seemed to have noticed something and smiled kindly: "In that case, let's just get started."

"Anyway, everyone is here, and there's an extra audience member."

Hearing what Old Jed said, Candice, who was standing aside, showed an embarrassed expression on her face and slowly lowered her head.

But no one present paid attention to her.

"I still have to say a few words, be disciplined when you're doing this, and don't accidentally kill anyone."

At this point, Old Jed chuckled twice: "Even if someone is going to die, you have to move to another place."

Among the other three people present, only Murphy truly understood this sentence, but he did not say anything.

Nonsense, making dirty jokes at this time is like making a fuss.

Seeing that no one responded to his joke, Old Jed shrugged in boredom.

"Anyway, that's all I have to say. I'll be the referee this time. If I say stop, then stop. Do you understand?"

Filia and Murphy nodded to him at the same time, indicating that they understood.

And Old Jed nodded in response.

Then, a dry laugh escaped his throat, and his tone became serious.

"Then, let's get started."

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

Hiss... ha.

Looking at Filia drawing her sword in front of him, Murphy took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

His body had unconsciously tensed up.

No matter how relaxed he appeared before, he would inevitably feel nervous if he stood against this woman.

After all, this is Filia, the dancer on the battlefield and the silver-haired swordsman.

Although up to now, she has always behaved like a polite and pretentious aristocrat in front of Murphy.

Although her title sounds so beautiful and noble.

But Murphy knew. He was well aware of the power and madness hidden in that seemingly thin body.

call......

Murphy let out another long sigh, then slowly drew out the long sword hanging at his waist.

In an instant, the momentum changed.

It's not Murphy, but Filia.

From the moment Murphy drew his sword, he was already identified as an "enemy" by Filia.

After entering combat mode, Filia seemed to have completely changed.

Although she still has that slender body and beautiful silver hair,...she always looks a little different.

It was as if a beast that had been sleeping in her body had awakened at this moment.

Do you have to be so scary right from the start... Murphy smiled bitterly.

But no matter how scared you are, you still have to fight.

Murphy lowered his right hand and held the patterned sword at his side, looking full of flaws.

He did not take up a stance or initiate an attack as he had done in the past, but instead waited for Filia's next move in a relaxed manner.

It's not that I look down on my opponent. This is Filia. How could Murphy underestimate her?

But Murphy just faced her with this flawed look.

No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, not even his opponent Philia and Old Jed and Candice who were watching.

Except for himself, of course.

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

There was a flu outbreak in school recently, and the author accidentally got infected yesterday, so there was no update. I would like to apologize here.

Everyone must take care of their health. I feel that this flu may be more serious than the new coronavirus.

Because I had a fever of 39.2℃ yesterday, and I felt weak all over, my muscles were sore, and my brain felt like it was exploded.

So everyone must take care of their health.

I feel a little better today. My temperature was 37.5℃ this morning. At least my head doesn't hurt as much.

So I will update normally today, and make up for what I owed yesterday.

Chapter 55: Cheating Only for You

No one knew what this loose look meant, except Murphy herself.

He knew what he was doing and he was very clear-headed at the moment.

...I feel looked down upon.

Looking at the sword in Murphy's hand, Filia gritted her teeth. Because she used too much force, her teeth even made a "crunching" sound.

The terrifying aura disappeared at a certain moment, but the next moment, the aura began to gradually rise again, and finally even exceeded the initial level.

Filia drew her sword.

It was clearly just a simple thrust running straight towards this side, and at most it could be described as making a somewhat terrifying sound of breaking wind.

But in Murphy's eyes, the sword seemed to be slashing towards him from countless directions.

Murphy knew a lot about Filia's swordsmanship. It would be better to say that he knew it very well. After all, he had experienced the sword many times.

It was precisely because of this that he put on such a flawed look.

This wasn't some advanced martial art, but rather some skills he had developed after being defeated by Filia countless times... skills that were only for the weak.

Of course, this kind of unorthodox trick is only useful the first time, because for Filia, it is meaningless to use the same trick a second time.

But it must be useful to her now.

Murphy raised the iron sword, waiting for Filia's thrust.

Reinhard style swordsmanship has a very interesting feature, the footwork that goes with this swordsmanship is like dancing.

The way they swing the sword is also different from the straight up and down slashing or stabbing of ordinary people. Their sword moves are more tricky and impossible to guard against.

Moreover, as the battle progresses, the opponent can easily fall into their unique rhythm and can only take the beating without being able to fight back.

But...it's not that there is no solution.

At this moment, the distance between Filia and Murphy was very close, but he still maintained that relaxed posture without any movement.

In such a terrible situation at this moment, Old Jed thought that his disciple might not be able to resist.

After all, even he himself didn't know how to take the thrust that was so close to his body in this situation.

If he wasn't careful, that woman would kill Murphy, and there was no way old Jed would accept his death.

Just admit defeat with one word, and it doesn't cost anything. You just lose the opportunity to make a request to that woman.
