The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 216 No Skills, All Protection
In the vast courtyard.

This is not a place for training martial arts, but at the strong request of a certain important person, the two of them are having a sword-fighting contest here.

One of them is Zun Zun, and the other one...

Reinhard.

This man is undoubtedly the strongest in the world.

There are all kinds of bizarre events, including one person who claims to be the strongest but is split in half and lies completely flat with no chance of revival; one who claims to be able to fight an ordinary person with one punch; and one who claims to be the ultimate creature but is drifting outside the earth.

Being the strongest is like a curse. No one can bear it, and basically your status will be destroyed.

The same goes for Reinhardt.

In fact, he would also lose in a certain world line.

And the person who defeated him was Natsuki Subaru.

But do you know how many times Natsuki Subaru died in order to defeat Reinhard?

Thousands of times.

In the end, the opponent was not defeated physically, but mentally, making the Sword Saint a helper for Emilia's camp.

Under such circumstances, Zun Zun did not think that he could defeat Reinhardt at all.

Just like now.

"Huh...huh..."

Zun Zun was holding a wooden sword and facing Reinhard from a distance. He was fully alert to the opponent's wooden sword, but in comparison, the Sword Saint was completely relaxed and even a little too lazy.

One hour after the training battle begins.

He was completely suppressed.

The two of them were only communicating with swordsmanship, but the "perfect" that Zun Zun was so proud of was completely ineffective, and Reinhardt easily broke into his defensive range.

The original intention of being seamless is to amplify one's senses, so that no matter attacking or defending, one can counterattack or block before discovering the opponent's malicious intentions in advance.

However, Reinhardt meant no harm.

No, to be precise, his malicious intent was hidden.

It wasn't that Reinhard hid on his own initiative, but the micro-elves floating in the atmosphere did it on their own. Just like just now, Zun Zun had finally cut Reinhard's cheek, and the micro-elves in the atmosphere seemed unable to bear the other's handsome face being injured, and healed him completely.

WTF!

Who is the body of God?

Goddess Eris, I request to change the plug-in!

Just like mystery is ineffective in the face of a higher mystery, Zun Zun's plug-in is no match for Reinhard's plug-in, so no matter how he attacks, it will be blocked. Instead, his own perfect skills are learned by the opponent and even strengthened a lot.

Are you Ikki-bungui?

The most disgusting thing is that Zun Zun can't learn anything from Reinhardt.

No tricks, just protection.

The Sword Saint's protection makes one sigh at the disparity in the world.

So the sweaty Zun resolutely raised his hands to him and shouted respectfully:
"I surrender. I admit defeat."

“…Is that so? Then that’s enough for us, right?”

Reinhard slowly put away his wooden sword.

Zun Zun took a deep look at the knight sword with dragon claws on his waist. The dragon sword was like a dead object and did not shake at all. Then he asked unwillingly: "Reinhard, if I ask you to evaluate my swordsmanship, how do you think?"

"Well..."

After thinking carefully, the Sword Master said seriously: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is very strong, as strong as Cecilus Segmont of the Empire."

Cecilus Segmont is one of the nine divine generals of the empire, ranking first.

Considered the strongest swordsman in the empire.

Anyone would be overjoyed to be praised like this. However, Zun Zun sensed the hidden meaning in his words.

"Only swordplay?"

"Only swordplay."

understood.

After all, he is the strongest in the empire. Although he has superb swordsmanship, he is definitely not limited to swordsmanship. For example, he has super speed, extraordinary strength, and two swords that can be called magic swords.

Maybe the opponent has even more powerful abilities hidden, but when faced with the Sword Saint who he cannot defeat no matter what, he knows that exposing them would only bring humiliation upon himself and chooses not to use them.

Zun Zun was not discouraged. There was absolutely no problem with his swordsmanship. The reason he couldn't beat the Sword Saint was simply because his numerical strength was not enough.

And I learned one thing in my short life...

Never try to reason with a weird mechanic!

"Pfft hahaha——"

Seeing Zun Zun defeated, cheerful laughter rang out in the courtyard. Although it was not proper, the laughter was very contagious and made people feel more cheerful.

Except Zun Zun.

He was the object of ridicule, it would be strange if he could be happy.

"You are such a disgrace!" Felt laughed heartily, pointing at Zun Zun and mocking him, "I thought you were so strong, but I didn't expect you to be just this strong."

"Long-winded."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes in annoyance. How dare this guy say that? He was the one who saved her life, but he turned around and mocked him like this.

In fact, Zun Zun also understood that Firut was expressing his dissatisfaction with him.

"That's enough, Felt. I don't think I lied to you."

"What did you say!?"

"So, you are already wearing a yellow robe, and you have delicious food for your three meals a day, and you even have people to serve you. Even if you say you want to have a big banquet here, you will definitely be satisfied. What else are you dissatisfied with... Ah, thank you, Fram."

Zun Zun took the white towel from the short little girl with peach-colored side bangs.

But it was snatched away by Firut.

"You must be joking! You... I said I wanted to live a rich life, but it's not like this! What's the difference between me and a canary in prison now? Tell me!"

The red-eyed and blonde girl raised her leg high and kicked towards Zun Zun's head, but was easily blocked. If you lower your head slightly, you can see the white scenery.

I can’t beat the Sword Master, but I can still beat you?
"Master Felt, please don't do this!"

The short little girl who also had peach-colored hair but straight bangs, screamed and pulled Firut’s skirt after seeing her indecent behavior.

Her name is Glacis, and she is Fram's younger sister.

The two sisters were maids specially hired by Reinhard to take care of Zunzun and Firut. They were not much different in age, hoping that the two would not feel unfamiliar with each other.

Zun Zun is very accustomed to being taken care of.

Firut was very resistant. Both the light skirt and the need to maintain aristocratic etiquette made her uncomfortable.

"People should learn to be content, Felt."

"Aha!?"

She asked in an unhappy voice.

In fact, Firut was now wearing a light yellow luxurious dress and expensive accessories that she coveted. If she didn't speak, one would think she was a noble lady from some family.

Ok? ? ?
Zun Zun suddenly realized that all the people he met were static beauties, whether it was Darkness, Aqua, or Cecily.

"Besides, Reinhardt didn't restrict your freedom."

Firut was brought to the Sword Master's Mansion. She of course resisted vigorously and had been clamoring to leave from the very beginning, but Reinhard would of course not agree. However, Firut was too stubborn, so Reinhard put forward conditions.

As long as Firut can escape without being discovered by Reinhard, Reinhard will not chase her.

However, in the past week.

Firut had never succeeded before. Even as soon as he stepped onto the wall of the mansion, he ran into the Sword Saint who had been waiting there.

"So, why don't you come and help me! With your help, if I use that trick to completely destroy the mansion, I will definitely be able to escape easily!"

“Please forgive me for rejecting this. What if I hurt others? Even if I can’t hurt others, it’s wrong to hurt flowers and plants. And with Felt as my companion, I feel particularly safe. Let’s be good canaries together.”

"Hello……!"

Seeing the other person's evil smile, the girl felt as if the boomerang from a week ago had hit her right between the eyebrows.

Besides, there is no way Zun Zun would agree to it.

He still needs Reinhard's help to open the space tunnel, so how can he leave?

Zun Zun mentioned this matter the next day after agreeing to it. Although Reinhard expressed confusion, he finally agreed. The condition of the exchange was that Zun Zun had to wait at the Sword Saint's Mansion before the Council made a decision, and he would be let go after confirming the fifth Dragon Priestess.

Zun Zun agreed and said that as a return gift for staying in the Sword Saint's mansion, he would help "take care of" Firut, so every time she planned an escape route, Reinhard would know it.

"Speaking of which, the Council..."

"Yes, they are currently discussing it. In fact, after I reported it to Captain Max, he seemed quite shocked. I think the adults in the Council must be very upset as well."

Reinhardt's lips curled up slightly.

Perhaps she was feeling the same annoyance as him, the inexplicable appearance of the person and the vision of the Dragon Emblem.

Maybe it’s a new revelation from the dragon.

For the dragon-friendly kingdom of Lugnica, this is more important than the election of the king. After all, the entire kingdom is under the protection of dragons.

"Forget it, it's not important."

Zun Zun waved his hand and said, "Come to think of it, did Subaru reply to the letter?"

“Yes, I received his reply this morning.” Reinhard handed over an opened letter and said awkwardly: “I know this is a letter from Subaru, but…”

"I understand. To ensure safety, right?"

Zun Zun had no intention of getting angry when someone read the contents of the letter. Besides, he didn't write any secrets. It was just a normal greeting between friends.

"How is Subaru?"

"Should I say it's good or bad... These are not too important, the key is this letter..."

Reinhard was so rare that I didn't know how to describe it.

Zun Zun is a little strange.

But after reading the letter, I understood why he was like this, and I also had a conflicted expression.

“Hey, what did you say, little brother? Why do you look like that?” Felt couldn’t wait to grab the letter. After taking a look, he was dumbfounded and said, “What is written on this? Is it a ghost painting!?”

As an orphan from the slums, Firut is illiterate.

Reinhardt took this into consideration and thoughtfully arranged a literacy teacher for her. Although she couldn't read the text, she still knew whether it was well written, and the letter from Natsuki Subaru...

I was very touched that he wrote the letter himself to show his sincerity, but I still hope that he can find someone to write it for him in the future. This one looks too much like scribbles!
