Chapter 98： Sword Demon

After returning from the village, everyone found a dragon cart parked in the outer courtyard.

"In front of the mansion... a dragon cart is parked."

Emilia stopped and said softly, "Who is here?"

Seeing this dragon chariot, Emilia and Nayuki Subaru both had puzzled expressions on their faces. Only Zhou Fangwu knew who the visitor of this dragon chariot was one step ahead of time.

Everyone walked over.

"Oh, this dragon chariot is even more powerful than the one I sat on when I came back from the capital!"

Natsuki Subaru yelled, and Emilia wanted to stop him, but seeing his excitement, she let him go.

"Oh, that's really rude."

An old voice came from above the dragon carriage.

"Welcome back, Lord Emilia, please allow me to disturb you for a while in front of the mansion."

An old man with gray hair but a tall and straight figure jumped off the dragon cart. His movements were very light and powerful, and there was no sound when he landed.

When seeing Emilia, the old man immediately bowed and saluted with full manners.

The gray hair was smoothed back delicately, and the sleeves of the well-crafted black dress were straight.

This old man looked like a housekeeper at first glance, and his actions, words and deeds were very gentlemanly, completely different from Natsuki Subaru, a guy who didn't understand etiquette.

"Hello."

Emilia also greeted softly.

Nayue Subaru circled the dragon carriage back and forth, as if to see who was in the dragon carriage.

The old man immediately understood, and he whispered: "The messenger's words have already entered just now."

"The envoy...could it be..."

Emilia's face changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"Smart as you are. I think you already know that this visit is about Wang Xuan. For details, please ask the envoy." The old man complimented and told Emilia the purpose of the envoy's visit.

Emilia's body became stiff, and she asked, "Is the kingdom calling me?"

Facing the inquiry, the old man didn't say much, but said dryly, "Please, ask from the messenger."

The meaning is self-evident.

This is not something he can know, or in other words, he will not say anything to Emilia.

Regarding this, Emilia had no choice but to keep a straight face and said, "Let's go."

Then, he turned his stiff body and quickly returned to the mansion.

She's going to meet the messenger!

Caiyue Subaru hurriedly chased after him, while Zhou Fangwu stayed where he was, looking at the old man.

"Is there anything else you need?"

The old man asked politely: "I'm sorry, there are some things I can't say."

When he saw Zhou Fangwu wearing a knight uniform, he thought that Zhou Fangwu was Emilia's knight.

As a knight, it is also necessary to spy on information for the master.

But he strictly abides by the words and deeds of the housekeeper, and of course he will not disclose all information about his master.

Unfortunately, he never expected it.

The boy in front of him was not interested in his master, but in him.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Fangwu, and I am currently serving as Emilia's knight. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Zhou Fangwu reported his name, wanting to get to know the old man in front of him.

The old man nodded slightly after looking carefully at Next Week's defense, and introduced himself: "My name is Wilhelm, my surname is not worth mentioning, and I am currently serving as someone else's housekeeper."

Wilhelm didn't say much, as if he was vigilant.

Zhou Fangwu smiled and said, "Please don't be nervous, I just want to get to know you, and I have no intention of getting information from you."

"Is that so?"

The eyes are the windows to the soul, reflecting the inner thoughts.

Seeing Zhou Fangwu's sincere eyes, Wilhelm knew that he didn't lie to him, but really wanted to get acquainted with him.

"However, Sir Knight actually wants to get acquainted with this servant who is a housekeeper, really..."

Wilhelm didn't say what he said next, but he explained that compared with Zhou Fangwu, his status was inferior, and he was not worth getting acquainted with at all.

However, he heard Zhou Fangwu say: "I respect the strong, and I only get to know the strong. The aura hidden in Mr. Wilhelm cannot be faked."

"…yes."

Wilhelm nodded, and explained: "It's just some personal martial arts, which is the foundation that every housekeeper will learn."

"If all the housekeepers are as strong as Mr. Wilhelm, then I, a knight, will really be laid off." Zhou Fangwu's words were telling him [I know how strong you are, so you don't have to. Concealed the meaning of].

Wilhelm said in an extremely gentlemanly manner: "Your eyesight is really good. It's really a joke to you that you discovered this little bit of concealment."

This is exactly the same as the hypocritical compliments among nobles, which made Zhou Fangwu a little uncomfortable.

He is a modern person and cannot accept the affectation of mutual compliments.

But Wilhelm is an old man with rich life experience after all, he can see that Zhou Fangwu doesn't like this kind of hypocritical socializing and polite words.

Immediately said bluntly: "Then, Mr. Zhou Fangwu just wants to get acquainted with me?"

"this one…"

Zhou Fangwu was also a little embarrassed.

He is extremely envious of Sword Demon's sword skills, if possible, he really wants to fight with Sword Demon right now.

But, what did they fight when they first met...

Moreover, Wilhelm is still a visiting guest, and Zhou Fangwu is now Emilia's titular knight. If he makes any unsuitable behavior and spreads it to the kingdom, then his evaluation will definitely plummet.

Originally, being a "silver-haired half-elf" made him feel a lot of slander.

If there is another [Shock! The King Chosen Knight actually beat up the century-old housekeeper whom he met for the first time! ] and other eye-catching news were spread [intentionally] in the capital, so does he still want to fight with other people to learn skills And the silver-haired old man in front of him is still that Rhine Ha Root's grandfather!

If it reaches Reinhardt's ears again, what will Reinhardt think?

Even if the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren is not good, even if Reinhardt doesn't care, Zhou Fangwu will be very embarrassed, won't he!

However, it's okay to make an appointment.

Zhou Fangwu thought about it and decided to invite him honestly.

"Mr. Wilhelm, I can feel that you are a strong man, and I have always wanted to fight with strong men! Therefore, I can ask you to have a sword fight with me at the right time!"

"...a swordsmanship competition?"

Originally, Wilhelm's eyes became dangerous when he heard Zhou Fangwu's words. He thought that Zhou Fangwu was provoking him without knowing the etiquette.

But he also heard Zhou Fangwu talk about the sword fight, which reminded Wilhelm of when he and his wife were young.

He practices swordsmanship every day, and fights with strong men every day, with the purpose of surpassing his wife as soon as possible and freeing her from the shackles of the [Sword Master].

And Zhou Fangwu in front of him had the same look in his eyes as when he was young.

It is a look with a firm belief and will give everything for it.

He likes it very much!

"Okay, if Lord Knight doesn't dislike my poor martial arts skills, we can have a swordsmanship exchange if there is a chance."

Unconsciously, Wilhelm agreed.

Although he said he was a gentleman and elegant, he actually wanted to refuse.

But for some reason, what he said was what he promised.
