Everyone spent the entire lunch in stunned silence. Alya, as the person involved, seemed unusually calm. She just kept waving the spoon and delivering food to her mouth. I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, everyone

I found that Alya's food today was much more elegant and refined than before when she dressed in men's clothing - at least she no longer wiped her mouth with her sleeves, but specially prepared a handkerchief - but the handkerchief was not as clean as her mouth.

Everyone wanted to ask about the situation several times, but when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to speak. Just when everyone was about to hold back their internal injuries, Alya put down the spoon in her hand and said to everyone: "I'm sorry.

I have lied to everyone for so long, but I am actually a girl." Everyone was at a loss for words and didn't know how to reply. Only Effie said stupidly: "I really can't believe that you look so good in women's clothes..." before they finished speaking.

, Effie found that everyone except Arya was staring at her inexplicably, so Effie could only shut up quickly.

Arya smiled, did not respond to Effie's words, and continued to grab the spoon and eat the rice.

Fernand whispered carefully from the side: "I should have seen it a long time ago..."

Fernand spoke very quietly, as if he was just speaking to himself, but Arlia heard him. Arlia put down the spoon again and smiled: "It's normal if you can't tell. Even I almost did it myself."

I have forgotten my original identity."

Xie Feng asked carefully: "How long have you been like this...?"

Arlia responded: "You mean, the way I looked before?"

Xie Feng nodded, carefully avoiding Arlia's charming eyes. Although he knew Arlia's true gender early on, he still couldn't accept Arlia's girlish dress.

Alya tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Probably... when I was thirteen years old."

Xie Feng asked cautiously again: "At that time...were you stimulated in any way?"

Arlia's color changed after hearing this, she glared at Xie Feng fiercely, and immediately grabbed the spoon on the table and was about to throw it over.

Seeing this, Xie Feng quickly protected his head with his hands and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey! You are a girl now, be more ladylike to me." This time, Arlia calmed down.

Arya put down the spoon and said quietly: "My father was originally a Swadia heavy cavalry."

Everyone was silent and continued to wait for Alya to speak.

Alya continued to sigh and continued: "Originally, our family's life was pretty good because of our father's relationship."

Xie Feng casually made an excuse: "Later, your father died in the war, and your family's living standard plummeted. Because of your father's relationship, you also learned combat skills from your father since you were a child. Because your father was only a heavy cavalry until his death.

, so you have always longed to become a noble knight. But until his death, his wish has not been realized, so you are determined to uphold your father's last wish and also want to become a glorious Swadia knight. Use your own

The body fulfills the father's will, but there have never been female knights, so you thought of dressing up as a man, hoping to gain everyone's recognition through fighting... and then you got to know us."

Arya stared blankly and said, "How do you know?"

Xie Feng laughed: "I can guess the outcome of these old-fashioned stories just by listening to the beginning. How about it, I'm very smart, right?"

Arlia sighed softly: "You think you are smart all your life, but you are confused for a while."

Xie Feng said blankly: "Did I guess wrong?"

Arlia smiled and said: "It's not wrong... My father didn't die in battle, he died of drinking during the celebration... That fool is really worrying..." Speaking of the latter, Arlia

Ya's eyes blinked slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile.

Xie Feng slapped his head: "Sure enough, stories are just stories, weird things happen in reality." Then he turned to Alya and asked: "Then why did you change back to women's clothing now? Wasn't it good to pretend to be a boy?

Yes? Everyone is quite used to it." Then he muttered softly: "I can also eat tofu openly..."

"Whoosh!" A spoon flew like a powerful arrow. Xie Feng quickly dodged it, then smiled awkwardly and closed his mouth.

Alya clapped her hands, still maintaining the gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now, and then said softly: "I'm full, please use it slowly."

After getting up, Alya quietly left the dining room while everyone looked confused. Just when she was about to walk out of the door, Alya suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground with a "snap".

Xie Feng reacted first, jumped forward and asked urgently: "What's the matter?"

Alya got up, touched her nose with an aggrieved look, and said bitterly: "I haven't worn a skirt for many years. I didn't get used to it, so I tripped over the skirt."

"Pfft!" "Hahaha!" "Haha!" Everyone laughed immediately, making Alya blush and quickly scurry back to the room.

After Alya walked away, Fernand came forward and asked Xie Feng: "What is going on?"

Xie Feng asked back: "Can't you see?"

Fernand shook his head.

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Since you can't tell, then I don't know what's going on, but I know - no matter what, a person who has been wearing a mask for more than ten years is finally taking off the mask.

, being your true self, it won’t be a bad idea after all. As for other questions, we don’t need to ask any more - well, let’s go eat, she is full, but we are still hungry.”

After lunch, Xie Feng rushed towards Vaye Zeji excitedly. He wanted to make a trip in person to see how Randy's recruitment was going. He also took a look at his factory to supervise how well Kristina's order was being completed.

With Liu Yan's footsteps, it took only half an hour to arrive at Wayezeji Village. The militiamen standing guard saw Xie Feng's arrival from a distance and waved to him enthusiastically. Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction, he finally looked a bit like

He looked like a lord. As he approached the village, the farmers on the road came forward to say hello enthusiastically when they saw Xie Feng.

Lord, it feels good to be a lord, everyone knows you, and they are all rushing to show your favor." This made Xie Feng suddenly feel like he was superior to everyone, and he looked very proud of himself.

After asking the villagers, Xie Feng came to the central square of the village. This large square is usually used to hold banquets. It was also where Xie Feng was "misunderstood" by everyone as an instructor at the training ground. Now, the square is crowded with people.

, many young guys were holding weapons and chatting, and in the center of the crowd, an area was divided, and two people were fighting with practice swords in the middle. Xie Feng squeezed forward and took a look, and saw that one of them was

Randy, and the other person was a young villager that Xie Feng had met before. Judging from the situation on the field, it was obvious that Randy had the upper hand. The young villager was forced to do nothing by Randy's offensive.

Xie Feng poked a farmer next to him who was watching the excitement with a hoe. The farmer turned around and stared at Xie Feng for a long time before saying in surprise: "Hey! Mr. Xie Feng, you are here.

!”

Xie Feng nodded and asked, "What are they doing."

The farmer scratched his head and said in confusion: "Ah? Isn't this exactly what the Lord wants? How..."

Xie Feng shrugged and explained: "I let Randy do what he wants. I don't care what he wants to do. I just want to see what he is doing."

The farmer was relieved and explained to Xie Feng: "Sir Randy is currently selecting and recruiting your regular army, Mr. Xie Feng."

Xie Feng nodded, and he could probably guess it by looking at his appearance, but it was just a habitual question to confirm.

Xie Feng asked again: "What was the result of the collection?"

The farmer thought for a while and said: "The collection started at eight o'clock this morning. There were many people who signed up, but most of them were screened out."

Xie Feng asked with a smile: "Don't you have to be able to beat Randy to be qualified?"

The farmer frowned and said: "How is that possible? I heard that Mr. Randy used to be a cavalry captain. How can these militiamen in our village who have not received much formal training defeat him? There are no hard targets for screening. As long as you have passed Mr. Randy a few times,

Recruit, and then Mr. Randy will decide whether he is qualified or not."

Xie Feng asked: "So how many have passed the screening so far?"

The farmer said: "It seems that there are only about seven or eight. Judging from Mr. Randy's face, it seems that he is barely qualified. There is only one... that Mr. Randy is most satisfied with."

Xie Feng's brows trembled and he said: "Oh? How do you say it? Who is it? Is it very powerful?"

The farmer scratched his head and thought for a long time, and then said: "It was probably around ten o'clock in the morning. At that time, Mr. Randy was tired from beating, so he asked one of his subordinates to screen for him, and then he watched from the side. Not long after that

, Mero, who lives at the east end of the village, came on the scene, wielding two wooden sticks, and within a few strokes, he beat Lord Randy's subordinate until he was almost unable to fight back."

Xie Feng was slightly surprised: "Oh? So powerful? Then what?"

The farmer continued: "Of course Mr. Randy was surprised. After wiping off the sweat, he immediately went on to fight with Mero."

Xie Feng said to himself: "As a cavalry captain of the regular army, Randy's training is not comparable to that of ordinary militiamen. No matter how powerful the man named Melo is, it will be difficult to please him, right?"

The farmer said: "We thought so too at first..."

Xie Feng interrupted in surprise: "Did Randy lose?"

The farmer said: "It's not like losing, but it's hard to win. They fought for more than ten minutes, and they haven't decided the winner yet, and it's hard to tell who is losing."

Xie Feng asked: "What happened in the end?"

The farmer said: "At that time, Mr. Randy got bigger and more energetic. He had no intention of stopping the competition and started fighting with Mello again. After fighting for a few more minutes, we all saw that Mr. Randy was out of breath, but Mello

It seemed that he was still able to do it with ease, but he was unable to defeat Mr. Randy. Listening to Mr. Randy's subordinates secretly said, it seemed that Mero had not received formal fighting training, so Mr. Randy, who was experienced in fighting, supported him.

"

Xie Feng quickly asked: "What was the result? No matter how experienced Randy was in fighting, he was almost exhausted by that time, right? Was it possible that Randy was exhausted in the end and was defeated by Melo?"

The farmer said: "No, just when Mr. Randy couldn't hold on any longer, Merlot's two wooden sticks were broken one after another."

Xie Feng nodded. Ordinary wooden sticks are not very durable, and it is common for them to break accidentally during battles.

The farmer continued: "After Mero's wooden stick was broken, he immediately gave up. In his words, although he has never been a soldier or fought in a war, he also knows that weapons can no longer be used in battle. Basically,

It means we have lost - even though Mr. Randy could barely stand still at that time."

Xie Feng joked: "This person is quite interesting. If you use this reason to explain it, he seems a bit honest... By the way, who is that person named Melo?"

The farmer said: "As I said just now, he lives at the east end of the village. You are right, sir. He is indeed a very honest and honest person... Well, probably 'Han' is more appropriate. He probably

Around 5 or 6 years old, he is usually quite taciturn and doesn't like to communicate with others, so he has almost no friends. Until now, he has never found a wife. Most people in our village only know that there is such a person and don't know him well.

, so we didn’t expect that he could fight so hard - fortunately no one in our village usually messes with him, otherwise God knows how he would have been beaten."

At this point, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers. Xie Feng turned around and saw that the young villager who was competing with Randy had fallen to the ground, panting, while Randy just wiped the hair on his head with a smile.

Khan, and then said to the young villager who fell on the ground: "Young man, that's good! Even if I beat you to a panic, you can still hold on for such a long time. After rigorous training, you will definitely become an excellent warrior. Congratulations on your passing.

When the young villager heard this, he quickly struggled to get up and shouted to Randy: "Thank you, sir!" After saying this, he was exhausted and his body immediately went limp and fell down again. The villagers next to him immediately stepped forward.

Help him up in front.

After Randy wiped his sweat, he glanced at Xie Feng and spotted Xie Feng. He immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you are just in time! I have a good idea to introduce to you!"

Xie Feng also smiled and nodded, and responded: "It's Mero, right?"
Chapter completed!
