Lord of War

  At this moment, there was a moment of silence in the conference room.

  Sean could feel a strong and compelling depressive breath in the air that was spreading at an extremely fast speed.

   "Rock of the Star Realm?"

   "Isn't Locke dead?"

  "How many years has it been..."

   "At least a hundred years, right?"

   Xilarn's brows frowned, and the anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a solemn look. He stared at Iger so closely, and then slowly said, "Are you sure? It's really Astral Locke?"

  Sean noticed that Xilarn’s tone was extraordinarily heavy and solemn, and there was even a bit of hidden deep anxiety. However, his face did not show any weird look, it seemed that it was only a little tricky because of the appearance of this unexpected character-Sean's gaze scanned all the people present in the conference room one by one, and then he was surprised. It was discovered that none of these guys could feel the anxiety in Xilarn's tone.

  They all clearly expressed their fear and anxiety on their faces without any concealment.

  This made Sean, who was accustomed to the intriguing atmosphere of the land boundary, feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Floating island people, how simple are they?

  Sean didn’t know how famous Locke was before. The only thing he knew was that he had fought him once before, but because of the real eye, Sean didn’t feel how strong this guy named Locke was. On the contrary, there is no benefit at all under his hand, so in the end, he can only choose to escape from the distance. From the perspective of Sean, if he were not present at the time, I am afraid the team of Iger and Piles would have completely annihilated.

   "I'm sure." Iger stood upright, quite like a soldier.

   "Have you played against him?" Xilarn asked in a deep voice.

   "No." Iger shook his head slightly.

   "Then how do you know it is Locke?" Xilarn's expression sank slightly.

   "He shows his true face." Iger said in a deep voice, "He originally launched a surprise attack on me, but Sean stopped him."

   "Sean?" Xilarn frowned. Then he turned his gaze to Sean who was standing next to Iger, "Is that him?"

   "Yes." Iger nodded.

  At this time, all the talents sitting in the conference room turned their attention to Sean. However, the look on everyone's face was only distrust and guard, which was exactly the same as the first look of all the floating people that Sean had seen on the floating island. There is no difference.

  Even Sheilaen. The same frowned.

  It’s just that this guy who seems to be very hot-tempered seems to have a more delicate mind and a little deeper scheming, because his brows are just not frowning, and he does not show the same guard and hostility as other people. It was just the contempt hidden in the depths of the eyes, but after all, he could not escape from Sean’s observation—of course, if you count the orange halo revealed by the real eye, Sean can be absolutely sure that the people of the floating island are against the inhabitants of the earth. manner. Will never be friendly.

   "You stopped Locke?" Xilarn said calmly. His head lifted slightly, looking a little arrogant.

  Shaun did not reply, but looked at Xilarn with a calm face.

  This is a middle-aged man who seems to be in his thirties, but Sean knows that his actual age is definitely more than this, because this is a high-ranking sanctuary strong. According to Iger, Xilarn is a strong player who can compete with Levi, which means that Xilarn’s combat experience and martial arts are also outstanding, at least ahead of people such as Iger, Piles, etc. .

  But the realm of sanctuary. The level of personal strength can no longer represent everything. What can truly represent "absolutism" is only the perception of the law. Although the high-ranking sanctuary powerhouses have a slightly higher perception of the law than the lower and middle-ranked ones. However, it is not uncommon for the lower and middle sanctuary powerhouses to kill the upper sanctuary powerhouses. It is precisely because of this that Piles dared to challenge Levi with his own crazy blood, even ignoring the so-called top ten powerhouses of the Floating Saint Academy's comprehensive list.

  Of course, he is indeed a genius himself.

   And Xilarn, undoubtedly belongs to the ranks of "genius".

  Only in Sean’s view, the reason why Xilarn refused to become the so-called top ten in the academy was just that he could not stand the humiliation of failure. Of course, it does not cover up the idea of ​​failure—for example, "the strong like me are not ranked in the top ten of the academy, and the so-called top ten of the academy is just a false name." After all, in this world, no matter where it is, there are always many onlookers who don't know the truth.

  Looking at Sean's unceremoniously looking at his gaze, Xilarn's face couldn't help but sink, showing a little impatience: "I'm asking you something!"

  Sean's face showed a bit of sarcasm: "Who can I ask? I haven't heard anyone talking to me."

  This attitude instantly made everyone in the entire conference room look dissatisfied, and many people even seemed extremely annoyed.

  Iger glanced at Sean, his eyes also showed a deep look of helplessness. Although he and Sean have only known each other for two days, and the contact is not deep, he is really clear about Sean’s character. Don’t look at Sean’s good-talking and easygoing appearance, but this guy is the real one. His pride is in his bones, and if you don’t respect him, he won’t respect you either.

  Floating island people respect the strong, but the floating island people also have a kind of superiority and arrogance from their bones. In their opinion, the people in the realm belong to the inferior existence. Therefore, no one would respect Sean before seeing the strength of Sean.

   Therefore, Iger caught in the middle seemed quite helpless.

  "Your Excellency Siran, please allow me to say a word." He coughed slightly. Seeing that there was a possibility of a big fight in the conference room, Iger could only speak.

   "Say!" Xilarn looked away from Sean, turned to Iger, and shouted coldly.

  Looking at this scene in front of him, the sarcasm on Sean's face became more obvious.

  Others may not be able to see it, but Sean can’t be clear about it. Don’t look at Xilaren’s behavior so fierce, he seems very angry. But in fact, he had no idea of ​​fighting himself at all. Although the feeling is not necessarily accurate, Sean's intuition is telling him that Xilarn seems to be a little afraid of fighting with him, so Iger's opening is equivalent to giving Xilarn a step down.

this moment. Sean seemed to understand. The reason why Xilarn is not Levy's opponent.

  Because Xilarn is too shrewd, this is not like the style of the floating island people. He always considers many factors in his work, so that he will always be in the most advantageous state, so he needs to consume a lot of mind to calculate, naturally there is no time to practice martial arts. Similarly, it lacks the indomitable desperate aura like Levy, and often chooses to give priority to life.

  And such a person. No matter how talented it is. Achievement is also necessarily limited.

  So, the moment Xilarn was defeated by Levi, he was destined to be impossible to surpass Levi in ​​this life. Because of this, Sean probably can understand the reason Iger told him before why the relationship between Xilarn and Levi was pretty good. It's not that Xilarn is really so generous, ignoring the shame of losing to Levi, but that he is too shrewd, and being friends with Levi is more beneficial to his reputation.

  "Mr. Sean is a friend of Levi's, he seems to be brought back by Levi when he came to the floating island this time." Iger said.

   "Levy?" Xiran was taken aback. Then he said softly, "Levy is unconscious now. How can I prove it?"

"This is what I saw with my own eyes." Iger said, "Levy was only with Mr. Sean at the time, and it was indeed Mr. Sean who was protecting Levy. In addition, along the way, Mr. Sean also helped. I’m very busy... To be honest, if it weren’t for Mr. Sean, I’m afraid it would be impossible for Bills and I to survive. After all, the situation at the time was that we were all targeted by Locke."

   "You mean..." Xilarn's pupils shrank slightly, "Sean repelled Locke?"

"Yes." Iger nodded, "It was a frontal repulsion of Locke, forcing Locke to choose to retreat. And from the situation at the time, Locke seemed very scrupulous about Mr. Sean. As for the specific reason...I don't know the specific reason. , After all, it was not me who was fighting Locke at the time."

  The meeting room suddenly became chaotic like a frying pan.

  Everyone looked at Sean in disbelief, and the noisy discussion was even more so that Sean, one of the parties involved, was present. In general, these people couldn't believe that Sean could defeat Locke, and that they were still fighting head-on. After all, for them, Locke's reputation is simply a special existence like a legend, a symbol of their spirit and pride.

   But now, there is a person who said in front of them that the spiritual symbol they worshipped was defeated by a man from the realm whom they looked down upon. How could this be accepted by the proud floating islanders?

  Sean believes that if the person who said this at this time is not Iger, who is one of the top ten members of the Floating Saint Academy, I am afraid they will definitely be called a traitor. Maybe it will turn into being thrown to do some hard work like those rebels, and the same Sean who comes with him will definitely be imprisoned or challenged by them.

  It's just that now, all the things that Sean had guessed did not appear.

  The floating island people do have their pride.

  Their pride comes from the pride of their soul, blood, and race. This kind of pride is the root cause of the floating island people who have been able to stand for so many years but have never degraded or declined. They may be arrogant, but it does not mean that they cannot accept other people's opinions, nor does it mean that they will be arrogant.

  Perhaps Iger’s credibility is worthy of assurance, so when he said these words, even though the pride they had believed in was shattered, they did not clamor for a duel with Sean or other reckless behavior. Especially when Xilarn raised his hands and slowly pressured himself, the noise in the conference room gradually subsided. Their gazes at Sean were no longer the same vigilance and distrust as before. Some were just A kind of respect for the strong.

  To be honest, Shaun couldn’t understand the thinking of the floating islanders at all.

  Because they are so different from the habits of the land boundary.

As the "red name is a strange, blame it directly", "PK if dissatisfied" and the "superficial alliance, secretly stumbling each other" in the game, or simply arrogant Sean, he It feels like these floating island people are like saints. Of course, lunatics like Piles and shrewd guys like Xiran are exceptions-but this also proves from the side that there will never be a shortage of strange flowers in the world.

  "Please forgive us for our impoliteness." Xilarn crossed his hands and pressed his chest lightly, then bowed slightly to salute.

This is a very old ceremony to worship the gods. It is said to be a kind of etiquette when the gods and people salute the gods in the dawn of dawn. Of course, that kind of etiquette is much more complicated. Today, the kind of etiquette retained by the floating island is already It has been simplified countless times. The aristocratic rituals on the earth are the products of this kind of godly worship. Its simplicity is simpler than the etiquette performed by the people of the floating island, but it is slightly better in terms of elegance.

  Following Xilarn’s salute, the other floating island people in the conference room also got up, and then saluted to Sean. Even Iger, who was standing next to Sean, bowed to Sean without hesitation.

  Shaun didn’t know how to return the gift. In line with the principle of doing so many mistakes, Shaun didn’t say much, but took it for granted. However, invisibly, this move also secretly met the behavioral benchmark of the Floating Island powerhouse-of course, if it is in the boundary, then there will definitely be many people secretly slandering Shaun’s attitude, but on the Floating Island , Everything seems very normal.

  The only dissatisfied person is probably Silan.

  But at this time, Sean not only showed the pride and attitude of the strong, but also had Iger’s testimony from the side. No matter which aspect he considered, Xilarn would naturally not use this topic again. As a very shrewd character, Xilarn will only defeat opponents in the field he is good at, but he will never take risks to enter the field he is not good at to provoke-if not for the halo on his body has changed from orange Turning into light red, Sean would be deceived by his sincere expression.

  Looking at Xilarn's performance, Sean couldn't help but think of Thain Hastings back then.

  Only speaking of acting skills, the guy who is called the traitor of the Hastings family is better. (To be continued~^~)
