Chapter 312 Chapter 106 Trial
Marquis Mays looked at the girl and thought to himself that he was glad he had prepared a meeting gift in advance, otherwise it would have been difficult to get out of the situation. The Marquis suddenly thought of the girl raising her cheeks and smiling:
“Miss Phoenix, I’ve heard a lot about you… However, all the rumors and poems are not as good as seeing you in person. I must say, it’s a pity I didn’t wait a moment longer that day.”
“Just call me Verafia!”
The girl put away the bracelet in her hand, waved her little hand at the Marquis, and replied crisply, raising her jade-white snowy cheeks. Her beautiful gold eyes curved, and she seemed to be in a good mood after receiving the gift.
“But you mentioned what happened that day… Hmm, this young lady also saw it!”
The girl tilted her head again and thought, as if recalling the scene described by Eggesti. Suddenly, her big eyes lit up, “Also, your sword move called ‘Brilliant Blaze’ felt really good! Well, it’s much better than that human Duke who claims to be the ‘Golden Lion’!”
“Oh?”
Marquis Mays was startled, then shook his head and smiled. He didn’t expect the girl to mention this so suddenly: “There’s no comparison between me and Lord Dawn. However, it seems Miss Verafia has some thoughts?”
“Thoughts?”
Verafia shook her head, then raised her scorching gold eyes to look at the Marquis, saying in a crisp voice: “Hmm… I can’t say, but I think your sword technique still has quite a few flaws.”
“Father, what Miss Vera means is…” Igert quickly wanted to defend Verafia. Although Marquis Mays was very gentle now, he was essentially a proud person to the bone. If this unrestrained young lady offended him, Igert would be the first to suffer.
The Marquis just glanced at him, then said to the girl, “Miss Verafia, please speak freely.”
“If I say something wrong, you’re not allowed to blame me!”
Verafia stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, making a premature statement before speaking seriously:
“Your sword technique is essentially derived from a very powerful sword momentum. In terms of power and exquisiteness, even I have rarely seen anyone who can surpass it… Furthermore, the concept of ‘Light’ and ‘Blaze’ that you constructed in this sword technique fits perfectly with it. As far as I can see, in terms of power alone, there are not many among all the Saint Ranks in your human race who can surpass it.”
“Indeed, when I was young, a senior taught me a powerful sword technique. That sword was indeed created based on it.”
Marquis Mays’ black long robes moved as if by themselves, and his entire being exuded a powerful aura. He suddenly shook his head and smiled at the girl, “Over the years, not many people have been able to see it, except for Miss Verafia.”
Verafia thought to herself that she was the one who taught you the sword technique, so of course it was easy to notice the traces… But looking at Eggesti’s expression, Igert didn’t seem to have told him that “she has Lothel’s memories.”
Marquis Mays’ gaze suddenly returned to the girl, “However, what is the flaw that Miss Verafia mentioned?”
“The flaw I’m talking about is, of course, that the level of this sword move is too powerful, and the spell concept you added cannot match it at all.”
The girl replied in a voice like a ringing bell. Verafia suddenly turned her pretty face, looking at the Marquis’s face, and said:
“Well, I guess you’ve been a Saint Rank for a long time… Using a powerful sword technique as a foundation, combined with your mastery of laws to create a complete set of sword techniques, you must be hoping to break through the barrier of the Sacred Domain with it?”
Marquis Mays remained silent, his pupils fixed on the girl, and the atmosphere in the hall made Igert feel a little worried.
“Although such an idea is good, as I just said, the level of that sword move is really too high… Even I have rarely seen anyone who can compare to it.”
The girl’s delicate fingers like jade fiddled with her hair, and her beautiful eyes on her fair jade cheeks looked at the Marquis very seriously. Anyway, no one present knew her past identity, so Verafia didn’t hesitate to boast.
“Moreover, I think before you were promoted to Saint Rank, you weren’t proficient in laws and elemental concepts, were you? In that case, the concepts contained in your sword technique, although quite good from a human perspective, are not perfect enough to truly match that sword move…”
Verafia paused, vigorously shook her little head, and said crisply, “You’re still far off!”
Igert clenched his hands in his palms, thinking that this little phoenix was really not afraid of anything, what a bold thing to say. If it were in front of others, wouldn’t she be afraid of being caught and beaten to death?
However, upon closer thought, Igert realized that this young lady seemed to be like this with every Saint Rank she met?
“Miss Verafia is indeed right.”
Marquis Mays suddenly looked up and smiled, his pair of deep blue eyes looking at the girl, “However, may I witness your flames?”
“Father, Vera is just saying, you don’t need to care.”
Igert felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. It seemed like his father was a bit too proud to back down, so he quickly stepped forward to shield the girl.
Although he wasn’t sure if the Marquis was really angry, even if there was a slight possibility, Igert didn’t dare to see this little phoenix being bullied. If she got angry and ran away, he would have nowhere to cry.
Seeing Igert like this, Marquis Mays couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking to himself, in this kid’s eyes, he was such a narrow-minded person?
“Don’t worry, I’m a first-tier Saint Rank after all. Miss Verafia, you don’t need to worry, just go all out.”
Marquis Mays felt a bit amused and said so. He could see the girl’s true strength, which was above her apparent Platinum level, and had already surpassed the extraordinary rank, reaching a level that could be called Crystal Rank.
However, even at the Crystal level, as a Saint-level expert, if he were to be injured by a little girl without even using Dou Qi, he would be ridiculed.
