The King of Elden does not die alone!

Apparently there weren't just three people in the audience.

Judging from their attire, they were probably the militiamen who had nothing to do in the village and hung out in taverns. Because the village was too peaceful, they didn't even wear armor.

Only the metal helmets hanging on their shoulders and the weapons placed aside could indicate their identity.

With the encouragement of others, Altria's attacks became even more fierce.

"No way?! Can't the knight even beat a girl?"

Another militiaman, who was drinking and had red cheeks, saw Kai being suppressed and shouted exaggeratedly.

"Hey!" Kai, who was defending against Altria's attack, took the time to glare over.

"Be careful or I'll cut off your mouth!"

"Hiccup."

The militiaman who was yelling at Kai burped.

However, even under Altria's attack, he still found time to bicker with the audience on the side. It seems that Kai's condition is not as bad as he appears.

Altria used three consecutive heavy blows from above, leaving deep footprints on the sandy ground.

Just when everyone thought that Altria would keep hacking until Kai knelt down, she suddenly changed the direction of her attack!

'You launch multiple powerful attacks to make your opponent tired of responding, and then suddenly launch a sudden and unexpected swift attack to take the initiative.'

The long sword chopped down to the end, and then suddenly turned into a stab from bottom to top!

If the enemy is still in the posture of holding up the shield to block the chopping, then the thrust can successfully pierce the abdomen that is not protected by the shield.

However, before Altria could launch a thrust, Kai suddenly ducked and the wooden sword hit her forearm from the side.

"Goo-"

The knight's sword fell to the ground.

The winner is already clear.

"His strength and speed are both excellent, but he needs to work on the timing of his changes of moves."

Looking at Altria who took several steps back while covering her wrist, Kai, as the instructor, made a serious comment.

"I thought I could beat Brother Kai this time..."

"It's certainly a good thing to be competitive, but you must also be careful not to be dominated by it..."

Altria sighed, rubbed her slightly swollen forearm, and picked up the wooden sword that fell on the ground.

Kai noticed that something was wrong with Altria, and he walked over quickly.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. Things like this are bound to happen during training. Brother Kai, don't take it to heart."

Kai frowned: "Where's your protective gear?"

"This..." Altria stared at the ground with a guilty look on her face: "I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring it with me."

"Is it that guy Merlin?" Kai rolled his eyes. "He didn't even have time to prepare. He just drew his sword in the morning and set off in the afternoon. If it weren't for Dad's preparation, we wouldn't even have enough dry food."

After saying that, he looked around angrily: "Where's Merlin? Where did he go?"

However, Merlin was not to be seen.

Instead, I saw Mia.

Altria also followed her gaze and saw the two people who had been standing beside her.

"Oh, Miss Mia, good afternoon."

Altria shouted to Mia.

"Morning~"

Not caring at all about the fact that it was almost noon, Mia expressed her morning greetings.

"Just call me Mia."

Although there is no need to call her Miss Mia, I would be happy if you called me Sister Mia.

Mia nodded in her heart.

As for the battle just now, Mia commented: "It was an exciting battle."

"By the way, Wilden was watching just now, right? Do you have any ideas?"

"Ideas?" Wilden, who was standing by the wall, frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Still very immature."

"That's right." Kai looked at Altria and sighed in the same way.

"No," Wilden said, "Sir Kay, your swordsmanship is also very immature."

"Forehead..."

Kai looked in Wilden's direction.

If someone else said something like this, he would probably get angry and go up to argue and demand a competition.

But it was only Wilden, who had spent the night under the same roof with him last night, who said such words.

To be honest, other than Wilden asking his name, the two of them had no interaction last night.

The main reason was that under the pressure from Wilden, Kai didn't have the courage to take the initiative to talk to him.

"That person's every word and action seemed like a real sword."

This was the evaluation Kai gave to Wilden in his heart after one night.

Then, such a person.

Said Kai's swordsmanship was immature.

Kai had no intention of rebelling at all.

The next person to speak was Altria.

"Then, Mr. Wilden," she said very seriously, "could you please give me some guidance?"

"About this matter..." Wilden groaned, and then he saw Mia nodded at him.

"Well, as long as there is time in the future, it's not impossible."

"Thank you!" Altria said gratefully.

As for time, it shouldn't be a problem.

She turned to Kai again: "By the way, Brother Kai, what I told you last night——"

"that."

Kai scratched his head.

The golden hair was a little messy, making the young knight look unkempt.

"Personally, I have no problem with having more companions."

He smiled and said.

Then he stepped forward and gave Mia a knight's courtesy: "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Kai, son of Ector, and Altria's sworn brother."

In response.

"My name is Mia," Mia stretched out her right hand to Kai: "Altria should have told you about me?"

Kai looked at Mia's outstretched hand, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately took off the gauntlet on his right hand.

Shake the hand Mia extends.

"She did tell me a lot, including... well, the traits that you have in common with her."

Mia smiled.

“I look forward to future trips together.”

"Me too." Kai bent down and bowed.

This is the way to show respect to someone who looks like your sister.

I feel an indescribable sense of microseconds.

Then he performed towards Melina a complete etiquette that was in keeping with what a knight should do towards a lady.

Then Kai looked at Melina, who spoke very little, and blinked.

"Is Miss Melina always this reserved?"

Melina simply glanced at Kai and then looked away.

“I only say what is necessary to those who are necessary.”

The subconscious is that Kai is not a necessary person.

"Oh, it's so sad."

"Brother Kai..." Altria poked him.

"Well, well, I'm just saying hello. There's no need to be so cold, Miss Melina."

She is not attracted by the handsome knight at all. Could it be that she has someone in her heart?

Even though he was very unwilling, Kai still sighed resignedly.

Although he likes girls very much, he is not the type to pester others and be annoying. After all, causing trouble to others is not what a good knight should do.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

Mia inquired.

"Well..." Kai looked at Altria beside him.

Feeling the strange gaze, Altria looked back at her brother and blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Hey..." Kai held his forehead and said, "I plan to ask the village blacksmith to make a suit of armor for Altria."

"Brother Kai?!"

"Huh? You're so embarrassed?" Facing Altria's exclamation, Kai also showed his brotherly look and preached: "Even if Merlin is a hopeless worm-like idiot, you have to learn to take care of yourself!"

"Woo..."

"Remember this! No matter what you prepare, you must personally confirm it at the last minute. Even if others solemnly assure you that there is no problem, you must confirm it in person!"

"Got it... Kai-ge."

"Uh-huh."

Looking at Altria who was obediently lowering her head, Kai nodded.

At this moment, a frivolous voice came from somewhere.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Familiar voice...

Everyone turned their heads at the same time.

It was Merlin! He came out of the kitchen laughing and holding five large plates!

Yes! Five large plates, one in each hand, one on each arm, and one on top of the head!

"Merlin!" Kai jumped up immediately when he saw his appearance: "What are you doing?!"

"Hmmmm?"

Merlin, who was caught up in the roar, looked quite proud: "Of course I'm preparing to eat. It's worth it that I worked hard all morning and finally convinced the hotel owner to prepare meals for everyone according to Miss Mia's standards!"

"What do you mean by Miss Mia's standards?!"

"Of course you don't know, because I am the omniscient wizard Merlin. Last night I saw the innkeeper take delicious food to entertain Miss Mia."

"..."

Clairvoyance is given to you to let you see things like this?!

It's not just Kai.
