Chapter 15: 【Iron Masked Man】(Part 2)

There was no chance for Roddy to think about it at all, Nicole had pulled him into the lobby on the first floor of the small building.
There was a silver object on the table in front of it, and it faintly emitted a soft light in the dark room.
Roddy could tell at a glance-it was a mask! A silver mask!
Nicole stood aside casually and said straightforwardly: "Put it on!"
Roddy hesitated-what was the "smile of God" last time, and what was it this time? I made myself bunny ears last time, how about this time? Do you really want to get yourself a pig nose?
Nicole looked at the frightened teenager in front of him, couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Don't worry! This is just an ordinary mask!"
"But... why should I wear this mask?"
This woman took so much thought to change her appearance and then let herself cover her face? Is something wrong?
Nicole was too lazy to explain to him, but coldly said: "Because this is my order!"
Roddy sighed and thought: It really is!
He had already faintly guessed Nicole's thoughts, but... doing this is crazy too?
Nicole satisfactorily watched Roddy put on the silver mask-Roddy was slender and tall, and the mask was made quite exquisitely. After wearing this way, in addition to the pair of long ears which are more eye-catching, he also wears a head. With her long hair fluttering, she has a somewhat chic and mysterious temperament.
The mask is indeed very clever. Roddy doesn't feel depressed after wearing it, but smiles bitterly: "What about my ears?"
He was full of hope that Ni might cast a spell now to change her ears back.
But he was disappointed.
Nicole took out two small things and handed them to Roddy-these are ear covers that some nobles often use in winter to keep warm.
Nicole handed Roddy a pair of earmuffs of the largest size, and said lightly: "Fold your long ears and put on this cover!"
Fortunately, although the ears have become longer, they are very soft. After folding the ears and putting on the cover, although there is a slight pain, Roddy dare not raise any objections.
Nicole walked to Roddy's side and stretched out her hand to carefully help Roddy tidy up his hair, so that Roddy's long hair covered his ears-in this way, she couldn't see anything.
Feeling Nicole's soft little hands rubbing back and forth on her head, and breathing the fragrance of the girl's body in her nose, if it weren't for the faint pain in her ears, for Roddy, everything would have satisfied him. He even faintly hoped that this moment could be extended indefinitely.
Nicole glanced at Roddy with satisfaction and said softly: "Alright!"
She didn't realize that her voice had become a lot softer unconsciously.
In fact, Nicole is not a girl with a cold personality. Whether in the family or in the imperial capital, Nicole is well-known for her gentle and amiable good-tempered-it's just that too much has happened in these two days. Whether it was being attacked by someone on the way home, or being assaulted by Roddy in the middle of the night, more importantly, the family heir actually ran away from home, making this young girl who was burdened by the family a little struggling to cope. So the involuntary becomes irritable.
In fact, except that Nicole was very angry by being assaulted by Roddy that day, Nicole didn't have many prejudices about Roddy, a teenager who was two years younger than herself. In fact, she admired this big boy. , After all, he dared to sneak into his own home at a young age and rescue his friends regardless of his own safety. What's more, even Mr. Qiu admired his talent in swordsmanship. In comparison, she really hoped that if she was not a weapon The younger brother can also have such good qualities, at least I don’t have to worry about the future of the family so much...
As for the kiss when he was in a coma... uh... just treat him as a young and naive child. Nicole knows her natural beauty. There are countless male aristocrats in the imperial capital who fascinated her. Roddy... is just a young and energetic boy...
Roddy was still immersed in the feeling of happiness, and Nicole had let go of her hand. In the next time, Roddy was taken to the small yard yesterday by Nicole almost in a daze.
When he arrived, Mr. Qiu was already standing in the yard.
Mr. Qiu is still in the gray clothes, and his iconic long white hair hangs gently on both sides. This time he didn't use the big sword used by warriors on the battlefield, but a long sword used by nobles at his waist.
Roddy finally turned his attention away from Nicole.
He noticed the peculiarity of Mr. Qiu.
Swordsman Roddy has not seen him. In fact, among the several teachers who teach swordsmanship in the Imperial Academy, there are also swordsman masters who are very famous in the Imperial Capital, but the characteristics of those people are very obvious.
In Roddy's impression, those masters of swordsmanship just stood in front of them, as if they could exude a fierce aura, with a menacing look, as if they were afraid that others would not know how powerful they were.
But Mr. Qiu is completely different. He just stood there casually, he didn't seem to be sharp.
He is like an ordinary person, without the appearance and momentum of a top expert at all.
Mr. Qiu saw Nicole and Roddy from afar, and was curiously looking at the silver mask on Roddy's face.
Without waiting for Mr. Qiu to speak, Nicole already smiled and explained: "He has a special appearance, so he put a mask on him."
Reminiscing about Roddy's impressive yin and yang face yesterday, Mr. Qiu smiled faintly and nodded.
Afterwards, the first swordsman in the imperial capital, the recognized master of swordsmanship did not treat Nicole politely, but slowly said in an understatement: "Let's start."
After speaking, he glanced at Nicole lightly, and Nicole immediately smiled and walked away quietly.
Mr. Qiu smiled and looked at Roddy who was standing straight in front of him, and said lightly: "You don't need to be nervous. In fact, I can't teach you too much. It's just simple on-demand...well...in fact, I can't teach you any specific moves, but if you have any questions about swordsmanship, you may as well ask me, I believe I should be able to give you an answer."
Roddy was really nervous, he was so nervous!
How glorious it is to be taught swordsmanship by Mr. Qiu! You know, they are recognized as the future holy sword warrior!
"What's wrong? Isn't there any problem?" Mr. Qiu smiled slightly.
"Yes!" Roddy nodded quickly: "Mr. Qiu...you...do you have an apprentice?"
"Huh?" Mr. Qiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Roddy to ask this kind of question. He pondered for a while and smiled: "What are you asking about? But I can tell you, I don't have a disciple!"
"Oh..." Roddy nodded slightly, but couldn't help but start to figure it out...
Mr. Qiu's expression seemed a little weird, and he continued: "In fact, I should have had an apprentice, but unfortunately I haven't seen him... He actually ran away before I officially accepted him..."
"Run away?" Roddy cried incredulously.
OMG! Is there such a fool? If Mr. Qiu is willing to accept apprentices, then those who want to be his apprentices, counting from the emperor’s princes, all the way to the common people, can’t even queue up three times around the capital!
Is there such a fool? Do you want the opportunity to be the apprentice of the holy sword samurai?
"So..." Roddy said cautiously: "Excuse me, are you planning to accept apprentices in the future?"
"Maybe." Mr. Qiu was noncommittal.
"So..." Roddy said more carefully: "If you want to become your apprentice, what are the requirements?"
Mr. Qiu took a deep look at Roddy, and said lightly: "Well, it's useless if you ask." He looked at Roddy and smiled: "I won't accept you as an apprentice. You don't need to continue this question. asked."
"Why?" Roddy almost blurted out.
"Hey..." Mr. Qiu sighed and said lightly: "I have my own reasons."
Roddy wisely chose to shut his mouth--since they refused to continue speaking, it would be better for him to shut up. After all, it was a rare thing to get a little guidance from Mr. Qiu.
"Your curiosity is satisfied, then can we start? I don't have a lot of time, so I can't stay here for long." Mr. Qiu smiled. Although he had only met the other person twice, he faced him This young boy still has a good impression.
Roddy nodded immediately, put the idea of ​​apprenticeship in his heart for the time being, thought about it, and asked: "Yesterday, you broke my sword. What did you do? I remember I only fought it twice. Why does my sword break into several pieces?"
Mr. Qiu thought for a while and suddenly said, "Do you want to learn this?"
"Yes!" Roddy nodded without hesitation.
