The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 34 034. Prince Clovis

In front is an open green lawn, with an infinitely high blue sky on one side, undulating grass slopes on both sides, and a wide and neat corridor in the middle, leading directly to the golden palace in front, which is the residence of His Royal Highness.

Capeiro Clovis, the only prince of the Polkaya Kingdom today, is about 25 years old.Li Xiao only heard the name of His Highness the prince in Polkaia's newspaper, and knew that he was the only heir to the kingdom, but he had never seen a portrait of the prince.

Entering Clovis's mansion, looking up, you can see magnificent and luxurious decorations in all directions. Any one of the items is enough to earn more than three years of income for ordinary civilian families.

"Your Highness." Barron knelt down and bowed after walking in.

Dawn also stopped, looking at Capeiro Clovis in front of him. The prince was nearly two meters tall, with blond hair, and was wearing a black dress on the upper body. There were gold patterns on both sides of the center of the dress and the two cuffs. It is a bouquet of scarves like lilies.

His lower body is black trousers, riding boots on his feet, but a luxurious long sword hangs from his left waist.

The prince was also looking at Li Xiao who was standing under the stage. Li Xiao was dressed in a very poor way. The old shirt on the upper body had many holes, the shorts on the lower body were also torn, the slippers on the feet were mostly broken, and a handle was hanging from his waist. The noble commanded the sword, a tachi.

Looking at the bandaged wounds on Lixiao's body, Clovis said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency is Reinhardt, the leader of the rebel army?"

The leader of the rebel army... Li Xiao glanced at Barron silently, as if warning him.

"Your Highness, this is the warrior Reinhardt." Baron said hastily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Why can't I kneel down to worship my prince?"

Seeing Clovis' somewhat arrogant face, Li Xiao's face turned cold: "Why should I kneel?"

Barron watched the tense scene, but he was a little worried, and hurriedly shouted to the prince: "Your Highness..."

Clovis stretched out his hand to stop him, looked down at him, and saw that Li Xiao's left hand was always pressing on the commanding sword: "It seems that your Excellency is also a swordsman, and I also practice swords all the year round, so let's see your strength."

Come up and start fighting?Is there such a mindless prince?
Dawn is a little uncertain about Clovis' actions.

"it is good!"

Li Dawn looked at Clovis quietly.

Clovis drew his sword and struck. The blade was two fingers wide, similar to the length of the commander's sword, but it had no curvature, and the handle was in the shape of a cross.

The cross sword is more gorgeous, and the sword technique is also based on stabbing. The single grip method has relatively high requirements for swordsmanship, and Clovis obviously makes it not very good.

boom!
Li Xiao lifted up the commanding sword that was not out of the sheath in his left hand, and instantly blocked Clovis' attack. Clovis felt his palm go numb, and the long sword almost dropped from his hand.

"Why didn't you show the sword?" Clovis froze for a moment.

"Okay!" Dawn replied, and Clovis regained his fighting stance, stabbing with the long sword from the left.

Scoff... A cold light lit up in the hall, and the moment Li Xiao's commanding sword in his left hand was unsheathed, it came before Clovis. The tip of the sword did not retreat at all, and continued to chop towards his head.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to compare?" Li Xiao looked at Clovis with a smile, and directed the sword with his left hand to land on the surface of Clovis' forehead. Clovis felt a trace of coldness from the blade, and was surprised by the strength of the opponent's swordsmanship .

"Forget it." Clovis shook his head, inserted the long sword into his waist, and then suddenly said with a smile: "I didn't believe it when I heard Barron say that Mr. Reinhardt is a superb swordsman."

Li Dawn looked at Holt Barron suspiciously, and saw Holt Barron nodding with a smile: "Your Highness, we should talk about business first."

"Oh yes." Clovis laughed immediately, and then asked the maid to bring food, tea and clothes. Li Xiao took a look and said, "Let's do business first."

"I don't know how His Highness the Prince will respond to my several requests?" Seeing that Clovis respected him very much at this time, he went straight to the point.

"The request is reasonable, no problem." Clovis said with a smile, but Li Xiao froze for a moment, agreed so simply?
"But can I know what you want the right to manufacture and trade goods for?" asked Clovis.

"Of course it is for survival. I lead the civilians to do such a big thing just to feed them." Li Xiao replied after thinking for a while, but he did not expect that Clovis would ask him about this matter.

"Have enough to eat? Now the common people in the kingdom can't even have enough to eat?" Clovis obviously didn't realize that Polkaya had reached such a point that even the common people couldn't afford to eat.

Hearing this, Li Xiao sneered: "If it wasn't for the lack of food, do you think those civilians would follow me to do this kind of brain-destroying thing?"

"Okay." Clovis sighed, looked towards Baron and said, "How is the financial situation of the kingdom?"

"The finances are sufficient, but where is Lord Ketok?" Barron expressed his worries. Although the right to quell the riots has been handed over to Clovis, the financial power of the kingdom is still in the hands of Ketok. Yibeili's funds are nothing to Polkaya's finances, but Ketok will definitely not let him do this so easily.

"It's okay, I'll talk to Uncle Kirtok myself." Clovis said with a smile.

"It shouldn't be such a simple matter for His Royal Highness to invite me into the palace, right?" Li Xiao asked whoever took a sip of the tea that had been brewed earlier.

Clovis gave him a weird look, and there seemed to be something strange in the depths of his eyes. After a moment of silence, he continued: "I just found out through the competition with the gentleman just now that the sword skill of the gentleman is the best in the entire Polkaya."

"Speak directly."

"Okay, refreshing." Clovis laughed: "I told you clearly, I want to ask Mr. Reinhardt to be my swordsmanship teacher."

"Your Highness is a prince, so there should be no shortage of swordsmanship teachers?" Li Xiao could see that Clovis' so-called swordsmanship teacher might be just a cover.

"Hey, the swordsmanship teachers my uncle arranged for me are all idiots, and I can't teach them well, and I can't practice them well. If it weren't for what Barron said, I still don't believe that Polkaya has such powerful swordsmanship as Mr. "Clovis sighed, lowered his posture, and said: "I have loved swordsmanship since I was a child, and I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was ten years old. I have worked hard, but my swordsmanship is mediocre."

"Your Highness!" Li Xiao interrupted, "Swordsmanship is all about talent. People with high talent can outperform others by ten years in a year. People with low talent are like Your Majesty, and 15 years is nothing special."

"Give up your swordsmanship practice!" Li Xiao didn't show any mercy. What he said was completely correct. If Li Xiao hadn't inherited the swordsmanship talent of the original owner of this body, he wouldn't have taken the path of swordsmanship. Even so, his future His way of swordsmanship is definitely not pure, even if he is promoted to the realm of swordsman in the future, it is definitely not a pure way of swordsmanship.

What he said was really merciless, Clovis smiled helplessly. He has practiced swordsmanship for 15 years, and he knows very well whether he is talented or not. His purpose is not to ask for swordsmanship at all.

"I'm personally adding [-] million Baileys as my husband's remuneration. As long as my husband agrees to be my swordsmanship teacher, the money will be in place immediately." Clovis increased his chips.

"Okay." Li Xiao didn't hesitate at this time, and exchanged [-] million Baileys by teaching swordsmanship. This is a worthwhile business. The prince's motives are not pure, and his motives have never been pure. Entering the palace may be the most correct The choice, although it takes a lot of risk, but for the possible results, this risk is worth taking.

Clovis saw that he agreed without any hesitation, so he smiled and said: "But there is one more thing we need to solve before this, otherwise we will not be able to succeed."

"You said."

"If I ask you to be my swordsmanship teacher, I will definitely be opposed by Uncle Ketok. At that time, I will ask my father to preside over this matter. You only need to defeat Uncle Ketok's master swordsmanship with swordsmanship in front of the king." That's it," Clovis said.

"Remember, in a sword skill contest, you must crush the opponent."

The swordsmanship competition in front of the palace?

It's really a bloody plot.
