Masked Knight

Chapter 18: [The Man in the Iron Mask] (Part 2)

Views:

Without giving Roddy any chance to think wildly, Nicole had already pulled him into the lobby on the first floor of the small building.

There was a silver object placed on the table in front of him, which still gave off a soft light in the dark room.

Roddy could tell at a glance—it was a mask! A silver mask!

Nicole stood casually aside and said bluntly: "Put it on!"

Rody hesitated for a moment - what was the "God's Smile" last time, what is it this time? I got myself bunny ears last time, what about this time? Do you really want to get yourself a pig nose

Nicole looked at the frightened boy in front of her, couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Don't worry! This is just an ordinary mask!"

"But... why should I wear this mask?"

This woman put so much effort into changing her appearance and then allowed herself to cover her face? Is there something wrong

Nicole didn't bother to explain to him, she just said coldly: "Because this is my order!"

Roddy sighed and thought: Sure enough!

He had already vaguely guessed what Nicole was thinking, but... wouldn't it be too crazy to do this

Nicole watched with satisfaction as Rody put on the silver mask—Rody was tall and slender, and the mask was also quite exquisitely made. After putting it on like this, in addition to the pair of long ears that were rather unsightly, it was paired with a long head. Her hair is fluttering, and she has a somewhat chic and mysterious temperament.

The mask was indeed made very cleverly. Roddy didn't feel stuffy after putting it on. He just smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do with my ears?"

He was hopeful that Nicole could cast a spell to change his ears back now.

But he was disappointed.

Nicole took out two small things and handed them to Roddy - they were ear covers that some nobles often used to keep warm in the winter. They could be put on the ears to keep warm.

Nicole handed Roddy a pair of the largest earmuffs and said calmly: "Fold your long ears and put on these earmuffs!"

Fortunately, although the ears had become longer, they were still very soft. After folding the ears and putting on the condoms, although he felt a slight pain, Roddy did not dare to raise any objections.

Nicole walked up to Roddy, stretched out her hand and carefully helped Roddy tidy up his hair, letting Roddy's long hair cover his ears - in this way, nothing could be seen.

He felt Nicole's soft little hands caressing his head back and forth, and breathed in the girl's fragrance through his nose. If it weren't for the faint pain in his ears, for Rody, everything would have been very satisfying. He even secretly hoped that this moment could be extended indefinitely.

Nicole glanced at Roddy with satisfaction and said softly: "Okay!"

She didn't realize that her voice had become a lot softer without realizing it.

In fact, Nicole is not a girl with a cold personality. Whether in the family or in the imperial capital, Nicole is famous for her gentle, amiable and good temper - but too many things have happened in the past two days. Whether she was attacked on the way home, or molested by Rody in the middle of the night, or more importantly, the family heir actually ran away from home, this young girl who had shouldered the heavy burden of the family was a little tired of coping. So I couldn't help but become a little more irritable.

In fact, except for being very angry at being molested by Roddy that day, Nicole didn't have many prejudices against Roddy, a boy who was two years younger than herself. In fact, she quite admired this big boy. After all, he dared to sneak into her own home at a young age and save his friends regardless of his own safety. Moreover, even Mr. Qiu admired his talent in swordsmanship. In comparison, she really hoped that if her incompetent brother could also It would be great to have such good qualities, at least I don't have to worry so much about the future of my family...

As for the kiss while he was unconscious... well... just think of him as a young and ignorant child. Nicole knows her natural beauty, and there are countless male nobles in the imperial capital who are fascinated by her. Roddy... is just a young and energetic boy...

Roddy was still immersed in that feeling of happiness, and Nicole had already let go of her hand. In the following time, Roddy was brought to the small yard yesterday by Nicole, almost in a daze.

When he arrived, Mr. Qiu was already standing in the yard.

Mr. Qiu is still wearing the same gray clothes, and his iconic long white hair hangs gently on both sides. This time he did not use the kind of big sword used by warriors on the battlefield, but wore a long sword used by nobles on his waist.

Roddy finally turned his attention away from Nicole.

He noticed something strange about Mr. Qiu.

It is not that Rody, a master of swordsmanship, has never been seen before. In fact, among the teachers who teach swordsmanship in the Imperial Academy, there are also swordsmanship masters who are very famous in the Imperial Capital, but the characteristics of those people are obvious.

In Rody's impression, as long as those swordsman masters stood in front of them, they seemed to be able to exude a sharp aura and look menacing, as if they were afraid that others would not know how powerful they were.

But Mr. Qiu is completely different. He just stood there casually, without any sign of sharpness about him.

He is just like an ordinary person, without any appearance or aura of a top expert.

Mr. Qiu saw Nicole and Rody from afar, and was looking curiously at the silver mask on Rody's face.

Before Mr. Qiu could speak, Nicole had already smiled and explained: "His appearance is quite special, so I put a mask on him."

Thinking of Rody's impressive yin-yang face yesterday, Mr. Qiu smiled faintly and nodded.

Afterwards, the number one swordsman in the Imperial City and the recognized master of swordsmanship was not polite to Nicole, but said slowly in an understatement: "Let's get started."

After saying that, he glanced at Nicole lightly, and Nicole immediately smiled and walked away quietly.

Mr. Qiu smiled and looked at Roddy, who was standing upright in front of him, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous. In fact, I can't teach you too many things, just some simple on-demand lessons... Well... In fact, I can't I’ll teach you any specific moves, but if you have any questions about swordsmanship, you might as well ask me, I believe I should be able to give you an answer.”

Roddy was really nervous, he was so nervous!

What an honor it is to be taught swordsmanship by Mr. Qiu! You know, he is recognized as the future holy sword warrior!

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Mr. Qiu smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Rody nodded quickly: "Mr. Qiu... you... do you have an apprentice?"

"Huh?" Mr. Qiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Rody to ask such a question. He pondered for a moment and smiled: "Why do you ask this? But I can tell you, I don't have an apprentice!"

"Oh..." Rody nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but start thinking...

Mr. Qiu's face seemed a little strange and he continued: "In fact, I was supposed to have an apprentice, but unfortunately I haven't met him yet... He actually ran away before I officially accepted him... "

"Run away?" Rody shouted in disbelief.

Oh my God! Is there such a fool? If Mr. Qiu is willing to accept apprentices, then the number of people who want to be his apprentices, starting from His Majesty’s princes and all the way to the common people, can’t be queued up even if they line up three times around the imperial capital!

Is there such a fool? Don't even want to give up the chance to become the apprentice of the Holy Sword Warrior

"So..." Rody said cautiously: "Excuse me, are you planning to accept apprentices in the future?"

"Maybe." Mr. Qiu was noncommittal.

"So..." Rody's tone became more cautious: "If I want to be your apprentice, what conditions do I need to meet?"

Mr. Qiu gave Roddy a deep look and said calmly: "Well, it's useless for you to ask." He looked at Roddy and smiled: "I will not accept you as my apprentice. You don't need to continue with this question." asked."

"Why?" Rody almost blurted out.

"Alas..." Mr. Qiu sighed and said calmly: "I have my own reasons."

Roddy wisely chose to keep his mouth shut - since the other person refused to continue talking, it was better for him to keep his mouth shut. After all, it is rare to get a little guidance from Mr. Qiu.

"Your curiosity is satisfied, can we get started? I don't have much time, so I can't stay here for a long time." Mr. Qiu smiled. Although he had only met the other party twice, he still looked at the other person in front of him. This young boy still has a good impression.

Rody nodded immediately and temporarily put the idea of becoming a disciple in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked: "Yesterday, you broke my sword into pieces. What method did you use? I remember that I only parried twice. Why is my sword broken into several pieces?"

Mr. Qiu thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Do you want to learn this?"

"I think!" Rody nodded without hesitation.
