Soul echo

Chapter 270 Lily Lieber
The princess went to the weapon rack, took the spear and weighed it, thought for a moment, then put down the spear again, and picked up the long sword and round shield.

The weapons here are all genuine goods at a fair price.

But for the princess, who has been training in martial arts since childhood, these are training tools.

"The weapons here are up to you to choose." The princess named 'Lily' raised her long sword and pointed to the weapon rack.

Zhong Ye took a look, then shook his head, "Forget it, come directly."

The princess was a little puzzled, tilted her head and looked him up and down, her eyes fell on the straight knife at his waist, her brows were slightly frowned.

But she didn't complain, and immediately twisted her steps and rushed towards Zhong Ye.

The round shield is placed in front of the body, and the body is slightly bent down to protect itself behind the shield. If the whole body is in armor, this is indeed a good method of warfare.

Rushing to Zhong Ye, although he was wondering why he hadn't drawn his sword yet, the princess didn't hesitate, and directly stabbed out the long sword in her hand - this is a battle, not a joke!
But at this moment, Zhong Ye suddenly shrunk down and squatted down, and then bounced up obliquely. His slightly sloping shoulder hit the wrist of the princess' swordsman, flying her arm up, and then slid forward, throwing One leg was inserted between the other legs, and the ankle twisted and lifted up, hooking one of her knee sockets.

The princess didn't even feel how much strength Zhong Ye used, and the world in front of her eyes began to flip. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop her body from falling backwards.

"The footing is unstable."

Zhong Ye withdrew his foot and commented on the princess who was lying on the ground: "Even if you practice more on fighting in armor and riding on horseback, you are still too negligent in practicing footsteps. Even if you don't get close, I will There are more than a dozen ways to make you fall to the ground, the loopholes are really too big. If you only have this level, you can't meet my standard."

The princess gritted her teeth, turned over and stood up.

She opened the distance first, and then charged again.

And then……

Lilian saw this princess whose name was similar to hers being beaten up by Zhong Ye in a fancy way. Even though she was dissatisfied with her before and was a little afraid that she would snatch Zhong Ye away, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed now.

Even if she stood watching from the sidelines, Lilian could see Zhong Ye's carelessness, he didn't even draw out his weapon.

With the passage of time, Zhong Ye, who has been waiting for work at leisure, has more and more obvious advantages in physical strength.

Because he was paying attention, the princess didn't have any obvious injuries, only her wrists and back were swollen and painful, and the back of her head was aching.

However, the accumulation of these pains and fatigue is enough to overwhelm a person.

When the princess was knocked down again and struggled for a while, she found it difficult to get up all at once, even turning over became a problem.

Even after being knocked down for the third time, she stopped backing up and attacked Zhong Ye when she stood up, but she couldn't make Zhong Ye draw out his weapon.

This made the princess feel very frustrated. Although she knew the gap between herself and Zhong Ye from the beginning, she never thought that the gap was so big.

If this was in actual combat, she would have died a hundred times!
"...But, it's not bad."

Zhong Ye bent down and extended his hand to the princess, "Although it is far from being an 'opponent', it is the first time I have seen someone like you who wants to stand up after being knocked down 110 times. I agree with you Your tenacity, I appreciate your character——I'm doing a big thing recently, are you interested in knowing more about it?"

The princess grabbed Zhong Ye's outstretched hand and borrowed his strength to stand up.

Hearing him say 'a big event', his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Save the merchants and factories in the whole city that are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the interruption of the 'Grand Tournament'." Zhong Ye bewitched the seemingly rich woman in front of him, "This incident affects not only the merchants and factories in Paris, but with the incident Fermentation, other cities and villages will also be affected, and today I came to discuss with your father for this matter."

Hearing these words, the princess tilted her head in doubt, "Is this a big deal?"

Zhong Ye looked serious and serious, "If the incident is not properly resolved, at least hundreds of people will go bankrupt in the early stage, one-third of them may commit suicide, and one-fifth of these one-third, It is possible to commit suicide with the whole family. Although as the incident spreads, the debt will eventually be gradually eliminated in the huge trading system, but before that, hundreds of people will die as a result, and more businesses and factories will die. Bankruptcy, the economic loss directly caused is at least more than [-] gold coins, including but not limited to the taxes in Paris for the next year."

The princess was taken aback, "Why, why are there so many?"

Zhong Ye spread his hands innocently, "This result was calculated by the bishop of the Church of the God of Commerce. If you don't believe it, you can go to him to check."

Immediately afterwards, he struck while the iron was hot, "Fortunately, the problem is not serious now. As long as the problem can be solved at this time, all these things will not happen."

Hearing this, the princess frowned, thinking hard.

After a while, she let out a long breath and said seriously: "Count me in! I still have two thousand gold coins here!"

The corner of Zhong Ye's mouth curled up, and he stretched out his hand, "Welcome to my team."

Hearing this sentence, both the princess and Lilian were stunned, and the bullet screen surged like a frenzy.

With her mouth slightly open, she was stunned for a while before the princess realized that her brows were beaming with joy, and she grabbed Zhong Ye's hand and shook it up and down, "Thank you, thank you! I'm going to talk to my father about this right now!"

This time, it was Zhong Ye's turn to be stunned, "Did you tell your father about this?"

"Of course not!" the princess said confidently, "If I didn't get your affirmation, if I went to talk to him about it, he would definitely find a chance for you to reject me. Let's get to know each other better!"

After saying that, she turned around and put the long sword and shield back on the weapon rack, called her maid, and dragged her exhausted body to the king's study.

Before leaving the training ground, the princess suddenly turned around again.

"By the way, I don't seem to have introduced myself yet, my name is 'Lily', 'Lily Lieber'!"

With a smile on her lips, Lily Lieber waved her hand at Zhong Ye, "I haven't given up yet—it's better to say that I like you even more after getting in touch with you."

Then, she left with the little maid.

Zhong Ye shook his head and smiled, he didn't take this sentence to heart, and left the palace with Lilian.

They saw the carriage of the Church of the God of Commerce in front of the palace gate. The bishop was sitting in the carriage, and when he saw them walking out of the palace, he waved to them.

The royal palace is located on the outskirts of Paris, and it is already afternoon. If you don't take a carriage, it will be evening when you return to the city.

Therefore, the bishop simply waited for Zhong Ye and the others outside the palace.

Therefore, he also immediately learned that the fourth princess was willing to contribute to help them solve this problem.

The bishop was naturally overjoyed. Although he didn't know how Zhong Ye persuaded the fourth princess, if he could get two thousand gold coins, many problems could be solved, and it was possible to make this matter come to fruition smoothly.

On the carriage, Zhong Ye talked a lot with the bishop, but Lilian didn't listen to it at all, her heart was already filled with a sense of crisis.

That woman is called 'Lily Lieber', her name is similar to hers, but her figure is better than hers, her character is also eye-catching, and she dares to hit a straight ball to Zhong Ye...

If Lily Lieber was really going to join their ranks, wouldn't she be pushed aside?

If the audience in the live broadcast room also betrayed and were attracted by that woman, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?Became a substitute for that woman?
"...Lilian?"

Lilian suddenly came back to her senses, raised her head in confusion, only to find that the carriage had stopped, and Zhong Ye stood outside the door, looking at her suspiciously, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"No, it's nothing..." Lilian muttered, and then got out of the carriage.

Together with Zhong Ye, she gave a polite salute to the bishop in the carriage, then turned and walked into the Adventurer's House.

Zhong Ye looked at the absent-minded Lilian, thought for a while, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

Then he raised his hand, patted the 15-year-old girl's head, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't be snatched away..."

Hearing these words, Lilian's eyes slowly turned red, she turned around and hugged Zhong Ye, sobbing softly.

Zhong Ye didn't speak, and quietly hugged Lilian.

After getting along for a period of time, he knew that Lilian might be a child who grew up in a single-parent family and lacked love since childhood. She has shown her dependence on him many times, but he has never said it directly.

Lily Lieber's attitude made her feel threatened, as if her father was about to remarry... It may be strange to say, but that's about it.

Holding Lilian, Zhong Ye's face suddenly became strange.

Only then did he realize that he was actually playing the role of a 'father' to Lilian?
