Chapter 24: bet
? "Master Xiao En, no, if something happens to you, how can I explain to the master?"
Hearing that Sean was going to fight the strong man who was the leader of the mercenaries, Butler Pang was shocked immediately.
Although Sean is a student of Neo Knights Academy and even has the record of killing the leader of the robbers, he is too young after all.
As for the mercenary leader in front of him, there is no doubt that he must have graduated from the Knight Academy. Although he certainly did not graduate from the Neo Knight Academy, the best academy in the Carlo Kingdom, the other party has more than ten years of training than Sean. , is completely enough to offset the gap brought by the academy, and even surpass it.
"It's okay, Steward Pound, don't worry, even if you are not his opponent, there is no problem with self-protection."
Sean gave Butler Pound a reassuring look, and comforted him.
"Young master, are you going to do something here?"
Hearing Sean's "full of confidence" assurance, Palma showed disdain. He stood up, pulled out the battle ax from behind, looked at Sean and smiled lightly.
The height of more than two meters, coupled with the sharp edge and the tomahawk weighing several tens of catties, gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression. Most people might not have the courage to do it in front of him.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Sean stopped him.
"Why, don't you dare?"
Seeing Sean suddenly stop, Palma's disdain became a bit more serious.
"Don't dare?"
Sensing that Palma interpreted his "stop" as guilty conscience, Sean shook his head.
Although the opponent is tall and powerful, his strength may not be much stronger than the leader of the robbers. Otherwise, it is impossible to be just the leader of a small mercenary team. This level does not make him afraid.
He looked at Palma and said.
"You think I can't catch your axe, but I think I can. Since the bet is right, there must be a bet, what do you think?"
"That's true. Of course, there must be a bet in the bet."
Parma nodded in agreement, and Sean's words had reached his heart.
"Okay, what do you say is the right bet?"
Sean had been waiting for his words for a long time, and he said immediately when he heard the other party's inquiry.
"Well, since you were just negotiating the amount of the commission, let's bet on the commission."
"If I lose, then the commission will be calculated according to what you said, and if I win, I will not ask you to **** the caravan for nothing, just calculate according to the current market price of the capital, what do you think?"
"Okay, but are you in charge?"
Palma nodded, but his eyes were on the butler Pound next to him. The meaning was self-evident, and he obviously didn't think Sean could make the decision.
"Master Sean is the next head of my Campbell family. What he means is the meaning of our caravan."
Noticing Palma's gaze, Butler Pound snorted coldly, and immediately assured him.
Although he is not optimistic that Sean can block the mercenary leader in front of him, he will not lose face to Sean at this time. Even if he loses money because of this, he will find a way to make money in the following operations. Came back to make up for it.
"Then there is no problem."
Palma smiled, and he could make twice as much money with one axe. Of course he was willing to do such a good thing.
As for Sean’s ability to block his axe, don’t be ridiculous. He has been practicing chivalry for more than ten years without interruption, but he can’t even fight against a little guy who hasn’t graduated yet. He might as well find a piece of tofu to kill him.
In the end, the two still didn't do anything in the living room, but came to an open space in the backyard of the hotel.
In the open space, Palma and Sean stood facing each other. One was tall and burly, while the other was not short compared to his peers, but compared to a strong man, he was a lot shorter.
Beside , more than 20 people were watching not far away, including the guards of Campbell's firm and members of the mercenary team.
"Brother Locke, what's going on? Didn't the elder brother come to negotiate the price? How did you get started with someone?"
On the mercenary team, most of them are grown men, but there is a girl in white leather armor with a good face who is about the same age as Sean.
Her name is Leah Liusi, and she is Palma's biological sister. At this time, she is looking at Palma and Sean who are facing each other in the field and asked in doubt.
"I don't know either. It seems to be a bet with the boy. If the boy can block his axe, the employment fee will be halved. If he can't block it, then it will be calculated according to the employment fee we reported before."
The man he questioned, that is, Locke, was also tall. Although he was slightly inferior to Palma who was confronting Sean, he was considered a tall type among a group of mercenaries. Hearing Leah's question, he couldn't help but explain. .
"Oh, it's like this. This guy looks about the same age as me. How could he be able to block the big brother's axe? He won't be injured by the big brother's axe?"
Liya immediately became interested, but she also broke into a cold sweat for Sean. She knew the strength of her elder brother, and he was absolutely strong. Sean was so young, how could he be able to stop him.
"It shouldn't be so. After all, in someone else's territory, that boy seems to be the young master of this caravan. I'm afraid it's hard to explain if he was injured. He should keep his head."
Locke shook his head slightly.
"But I guess the little guy must suffer. Oh, yes, I heard that the little guy is a student of Neo Knight Academy."
"Students of Neo Knight Academy?"
Hearing this, Liya couldn't help showing a hint of envy in her beautiful eyes. She is also a student of the Knight Academy, but not the Knight Academy of Neo, but a student of another academy in the capital—Ziyun Knight Academy.
It's not that she doesn't want to study at Neo Knight Academy, but the fees charged by Neo Knight Academy are abnormally high, which is simply not what her brother's income can afford.
Let alone the leader of a small mercenary team, even the Campbell family where Sean belongs is extremely difficult to afford Sean's tuition.
You must know that the annual tuition fee is as high as 1,000 gold coins. This price is almost half of the financial income of the Campbell family. At the beginning, Sean's father, the head of the Campbell family, also considered for a long time before finally making up his mind to send Sean to the school. of this college.
Of course, compared with the high tuition fees, Neo Knight Academy also has corresponding advantages.
Top-level knight swordsmanship, a powerful teacher team composed of formal knights, and occasional invitations from kingdom powerhouses to give advice, etc., these are things that ordinary knight colleges cannot provide.
"Ax Knights!"
When he saw the ax on the back of the mercenary leader, Xiao En knew that the mercenary leader should be practicing the ax knight method.
Knight's method, the collective name for the methods used by knights to temper their body and fight, and there are also categories such as knight's sword method, knight's knife method, knight's axe method, knight's spear method, etc.
But generally speaking, the mainstream is swordsmanship. The Knights of Neo Knights Academy - Silver Frost Knight Swordsmanship is a set of swordsmanship, and this set of swordsmanship is among the knights of the Knights Academy in the Kingdom of Carlo. Also top notch.
"Master, are you ready?"
Palma put the ax on his shoulder, chuckled, looked at Sean and said.
"alright."
Sean could feel the contempt of the mercenary leader, but he didn't care. He unhurriedly pulled out the knight sword from his waist and laid it across his chest.
On the side of the Campbell caravan, all the guards looked solemn, staring at the two confronting people without blinking.
"Do you think Master Sean can stop that guy?"
A young man in his twenties showed a worried look on his face.
"What are you talking about? Even the robber leader is no match for Master Xiao En, let alone this mercenary leader."
The firm's guard captain Thor patted the opponent's head in dissatisfaction, and scolded.
In fact, even he himself was quite worried, but at this time, naturally, he couldn't lose his momentum, as this would only make the mercenaries next to him laugh.
"That's right, don't look at that guy who looks tall, he doesn't necessarily have to be strong. The strength of a knight doesn't depend on his height!"
"That's right, maybe this guy is an embroidered pillow."
Some guards also spoke one after another.
"Hmph, **** it."
Hearing that the Campbell caravan guard belittled her brother, Leah frowned, and immediately wanted to refute, but was stopped.
"Don't worry about them, the more they say this, the more guilty they are."
Locke shook his head and said.
"Well, yes."
Hearing this, Leia immediately felt a lot better, and she didn't want to care about these guards, but looked at Sean who was confronting her brother.
She was very curious about the young man in front of her, after all, he came from that legendary academy.
Especially for the swordsmanship of the other academy, she was even more curious, because she had heard teachers praise the swordsmanship of Neo Knight Academy more than once, and she wanted to see what was so good about that swordsmanship.
