Show field

Walking on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Swords, looking up at the defensive city wall surrounded by concrete walls, there are about three people on guard at ordinary times, but at this moment, only one person is left to guard the surrounding area, and the equipment he is wearing is also plain It is quite simple, and it is completely different from those swordsmen who wear silver armor to protect important parts.

A wooden shawl and a wooden armor that looked like it would shatter when tapped lightly, other than that he was holding a long sword with obvious cracks.

As a defense, it is basically equivalent to a fake.

Not only were the swordsmen above watching for abnormalities, the guards at the largest city gate were also reduced to only one person, and the equipment they wore was also ridiculously simple.

But now, in terms of the number of people entering and leaving the gate city, it is enough for one person to search the gate, because at this moment, there are no outsiders who will enter the capital in particular, and they are all hiding in their houses, fearing that the country's swordsman regiment will be arbitrarily recruited. action.

"You two put the weapons in your hands on the ground, and I will conduct a body search."

Walking halfway through the city gate, a lazy man wearing tattered protective gear and holding an unmaintained broken sword, his eyes and tone all looked slack, walked up to Shitno, and put the long sword on his shoulder .

In terms of attitude, he didn't intend to search seriously at all, and he was simply perfunctory with his work responsibilities. I'm afraid that if he simply put the weapon on the ground, the soldier would obediently retreat to his original position and continue to act in a daze.

"Why didn't you send them to the battlefield?"

The guy in front of me is no more than thirty years old by visual estimation. It is too early to say that his body has degenerated. It should be said that the late [-]s are still considered to be the age to maintain strong physical strength.

Out of boredom, Jiexi took the initiative to talk to him.

At this moment, the eyes showed a faint lavender color, and the pressure on people disappeared without a trace. He was just an ordinary person with a special eye color.

"Hmph! It's none of your business! It's my freedom whether I want to go or not, okay, I originally let you go at will, but thanks to your talk, I have to check where you stole the long sword on your back from." s things!"

Facing the suddenly angry man, Jie Shi slightly smiled, and stretched out a finger in front of the man.

The man's eyes had just focused on this finger, his eyes hadn't moved to his throat, and a pressure hadn't been transmitted to his brain before he lost consciousness.

Click.

With the crisp sound of bones breaking, the man fell to the ground like mud, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"As a defense, the country is too weak."

"Well, my lord, it's not like that, is it?"

No. [-], who was walking beside Jieshi, shook her long bright red hair tied into twin ponytails, stretched out a finger to retort, and said like a teacher.

"The kingdom of swords sent almost all useful swordsmen to the battlefield. Besides winning, there was another reason that all the roads leading to the third country, Magic Kingdom, were full of swordsmen, so that the capital of the country could be avoided. Raided."

He didn't get angry because No. [-] pretended to be a child and deliberately used an inferior tone of disrespect. In fact, Jie Shi knew very well about No. [-]'s character.

The child sincerely "believes that the birth of the leader is her future and her everything."

It is also the easiest to use.

"If one of the battlefields is captured by the Magic Kingdom, wouldn't it create a street leading here? Such a strategy is obviously not the judgment of the leader of the Kingdom of Swords. I'm afraid this is deliberately fabricated false information."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hearing this, No. [-] immediately felt astonished and puzzled, and without thinking about it, he knew that No. [-]'s words were definitely inferences learned from other people's mouths.

"The loose attitude of the capital of the kingdom of swords is almost as if I am welcome to enter, but it is a pity that I have no plan to go to the fortress to snatch the sword for the time being."

"Isn't it for the Excalibur? Then why did Master Jieshi come here?"

"Follow."

No. [-] nodded vigorously in agreement and followed with a big smile on his face, completely unconcerned about the sights coming from the cracks in the doorways of many houses on the street.

"By the way, my lord, I want to ask one thing."

It wasn't just the first time that he took the initiative to ask questions like this. On the way from Gathering Gods Forest to the Kingdom of Swords, No. [-] had already asked questions several times.

Due to the "boredom" emotion generated by the body and head, Jieshi did not intend to refuse to answer, on the contrary, he thought about every question and gave the most appropriate answer.

"ask."

"Why did your lord agree so quickly to the suggestion of that hated magician, I mean Huatian and Zi? Back then, there were still many wise men who were good at planning battles."

"Number Six seems to have a certain idea about Hua, or is there another reason for this question?"

"Well, it's not like that, I just! Well, how should I explain it?"

He held his head in his hands while he was lost in thought, bit his lips and shook from side to side, not always sneaking out of the corners of his eyes to look at Jie beside him, hoping to help him.

For this kind of child who doesn't even know how to ask questions, Jieshi continued to walk on the street expressionlessly, choosing to wait quietly for the result.

"what!"

After ten seconds of painful thinking, as if he had figured out what he really doubted in his heart, No. [-] suddenly yelled in the deserted street.

"I got it?"

"Yes, yes! My lord, what I don't understand is the content of Huatian and Zi's proposal, which is to kill the king of Magic Kingdom, but that is his father, why can he still make such a ruthless suggestion? Uh, It’s not right to say that, we really need to sacrifice unnecessary feelings for our goals, but, uh, strange, what exactly do I want to ask?”

Falling into the quagmire of self-thinking again, No. [-] knocked his head with his hands but couldn't rearrange his thoughts.

Jiexi stretched out his hand to stop Number Six's idiot from gradually exerting force on his head, and said quietly.

"He is a man who can destroy everything for his ambition."

"Well, but he doesn't seem to like sacrifice at all. He's a nuisance who counts to win."

"Because he intends to save any object as a bargaining chip for the next action. From the fact that Yan Bing Ya Luosen, who should be his friend, came as a sacrifice to please me, it can be understood that he is cruel and merciless, even his biological parents can Abandoned tool."

After crossing three streets, the width of the road gradually narrowed as we went forward, and the line of sight that was originally staring at us gradually decreased, but the eyes released from under the crack of the door gradually changed from "fear and cowardice to guard and anger", and the surrounding light Also as the narrow streets become less and less.

"So your lord is planning to adopt his suggestion so quickly because you know Huatian and Zi's loyalty and cold-bloodedness?"

"no."

When he came to the wooden door of one of the many concrete houses, Jieshi stopped in his tracks.

The houses from the beginning to the present are all different sizes, but the only similarity is that they are all dirty and damp because of the frequent rain, and the walls, windows and doors are full of foul-smelling sludge.

The same is true for the front where it stops, except that there is a striking copper-colored signboard on it, with the words "Belo Blacksmith House" cut out with a weapon on it.

"The reason why I will adopt it immediately is because it is the fastest way to spread reputation, and I don't have any extra time. The second reason is that he is very familiar with the structure and roads in the capital of the Magic Kingdom. It is very convenient as an intelligence, that's all. "

Instead of considering "human nature" issues such as thinking and attitudes, it hardly considers people as people, and turns everything into a "tool"-like conclusion.

After talking about this topic, Jieshi knocked on the wooden door with his fingers and made a "knock knock" sound.

"Our shop is closed today."

An old and irritable voice came from the wooden door, directly rejecting the incoming guests.

"I'm here to get something."

"what is this?"

"Bello Hard Steel."

thump.

After saying this, there was a sound of a heavy object hitting the ground in the cement house, followed by a "stomp" sound with quick steps.

Click.

A light yellow warning sight was revealed from the gap in the wooden door.

"Is it a kid? It's not Empiri...why do you know this name?"

"She asked me to get it."

"Why should I trust you?"

Jieshi took out a small piece of pure black substance about the size of a palm and in the shape of a cylinder from his waist pocket, and handed the substance to the old man in the gap to watch.

"you!"

Seeing this piece of blackened substance that turned into waste, the old man widened his eyes in surprise and subconsciously opened the wooden door, caressing this piece of substance with withered hands.

"According to the agreement, I'll get the complete Belo hard iron."

"You? Where did Kano go?"

Instead of answering immediately, he walked into the house and closed the wooden door, and sat down on the only simple wooden chair in the house without any manners. No. [-] stood quietly and obediently, looking around happily.

"It's really warm here, I'm afraid there's something burning in the basement?"

His eyes, which gradually turned dark purple, looked at the old man on the wooden door, and his calm smile gave off a hairy oppressive aura.

"I'm a blacksmith, so I have a place to develop weapons. You haven't answered me yet, where did Kano go? Is she still alive?"

"Mr. Bello, useless hope will only lead to despair."

The old man, who was called Bei Luo, frowned his old and dry brows, and the age spots under his cheeks and his old expression gradually tightened and dignified.

"If that's the case, you shouldn't be here, or are you the wronged soul of Empirika?"

"The old man doesn't need to guess too much, especially this kind of ridiculous speculation. You don't need to say it out loud. You just need to know that someone is coming to get that piece of steel."

"Do you know that it is the steel that Kano and I jointly researched and developed, after various trials and finally extracted? This piece of hard steel is something that Kano specially left behind in order to make the world's best long sword with her own hands."

"That's right, that's why I came to get another piece, because more materials are needed to complete a long sword that is enough for an adult to use. It was forced to stop in order to complete the journey to a third country. It is a dream weapon."

"You, get out of here! This kind of barbarian is not welcome here! Don't take my apprentice's painstaking efforts as a joke!"

"Your apprentice has always been there."

"what?"

Without waiting for the old man's exclamation and the dangerous move he might make next, Jie Shi squeezed out a small piece of sawdust from the handle of the wooden chair like kneading tofu, and projected it at the old man's heart.

Nourishing.

The weak and thin voice appeared and disappeared in a short time, and the old man's chest quickly dripped bright red liquid, staining the cloth near his chest red, and finally fell to the ground with a "boom" before he could respond.

"I'm not here to ask, but to order, Six finds the same piece of metal as this one."

"Yes!"

No. [-] turned around and walked to the nearest bookcase, smashing vases and books to the ground one after another, making a crisp and shattering sound.

"Hey."

After confirming that no target was found in the bookcase, he pushed the bookcase three times bigger than himself directly to the ground, turning the original complete bookcase into broken pieces of wood.

"Not here either."

After confirming that there is nothing behind the bookcase, I took a leisurely pace to another piece of furniture. I was completely careless and soft-handed. I destroyed them one by one and gradually walked quickly from the first floor to the basement.

Jie Shi, who was sitting on the wooden chair, quietly looked at the corpse in front of him that was gradually losing temperature, and sighed lightly.

"Are you sad? Your experience and memory made me feel this hot emotion... The blood of Siterno, the curse of existence finally flowed into my memory. The fate linked is always the fruit of resentment."

Stretching out his hand to gently stroke the magic sword on his back, the deep purple in his eyes gradually turned darker.

"According to the agreement...Mr. Bello, take your hatred for me and step into hell, and then curse me there forever."

"My lord, I have found it!"

Number Six, who ran up from the basement, happily held up the same black cylinder of steel in his hand, but the size was almost the length of Number Six's entire body, and it was a piece of material that was several times larger than Jie Shi's hand.

boom.

When the petite feet stepped next to Jieshi, the whole cement house began to make a loud and heavy sound, the pillars and roof in all directions began to shake violently, the walls began to peel off unsupportably, and a large amount of dust fell straight down from above—— The destruction was so severe that the house collapsed beyond support.

"Leave immediately."

He took number six's hand and rushed straight to the door, as if he hadn't seen the wooden door, he directly used the sprint speed to smash the wooden door into pieces.

boom!

Just after walking out of the house, the four pillars of the house completely cracked, and the entire cement house fell to the ground and turned into ruins in just two seconds, and continued to sink down with the space in the basement, and the pits that appeared were mixed with a lot of cement and wood chips , After the ashes with residual temperature formed a big fire.

"leave."

Seeing this scene, Jieshi took No. [-] and stepped on the signboard of "Belo Blacksmith House" that fell to the ground with his right foot. Scholars pay attention to Germany.

"Don't worry, my lord, if there is a strong enemy coming, I will block it for you first!"

"No, there will be no strong enemies, because the so-called strong ones have just died."

"Huh? The old man just now? But he looks like an ordinary old man, at most a blacksmith?"

"He is a member of the former leader's army, but he is too old to retire. I am afraid that the defense of the kingdom of swords is so loose because the leader trusts the retired swordsman."

"Hey, but in front of adults, he is so vulnerable."

"There is no eternal winner in the world, the only way to win is the amount of information you have on each other."

"Hmm, that sentence feels so profound."

"That old man lowered his guard because of Kano's name."

"Huh? Are you referring to my sister?"

"No, it's another Kano...Using this, I was able to obtain this piece of metal without any extra effort."

Looking at the piece of metal that he longed for in his hand, he did not smile as expected, but stared with a solemn expression.

"Is your lord going to hand over this piece of metal to the artisans in the organization?"

"I'm going to build it myself."

"It turns out that adults can also forge, it's really amazing!"

On the fast-moving road, No. [-] still didn't stop asking desperately, completely releasing the curiosity in his heart.

"Why does Jaish-sama have that kind of black thing?"

"The sacrifices at that time, other than the 'spirit' and the 'memory', were left over."

"Is it from that person with the same name as your nee-sama?"

tread.

Running back to the city gate that he entered at the beginning, Jieshi did not respond to No. [-]'s question, and stopped urgently, looking indifferently in front of him, "At least twenty swordsmen wearing silver armor and holding various long swords ".

"Immediately put down the weapons in your hands. Here we suspect that you are the murderers who caused the collapse of the house just now."

"Well, how can you just insist that we are the murderers? And it's too quick to pinpoint the escape location we left, right?"

"There is no one else on the street except you, and a guard and a blacksmith died just after you came in. The Kingdom of Swords will not let go of such a huge suspicion!"

"I, what a bunch of mortal flies."

"Six, this is a trap that was set when we came in."

When No. [-] was ready to continue the theory unhappily, Jiexi reached out and grabbed No. [-]'s shoulder, and stepped on the ground with his right foot, his suffocating and oppressive dark purple eyes gradually turned into "golden and dark purple intertwined strange tone".

"Despite our precautions, we probably won't be able to capture us by doing so."

After speaking softly, Jieshi grabbed Number Six and bent his feet slightly.

--call out

A sound quickly resounded through the ears of everyone present, and the sharp penetrating sound tore everyone's eardrums and heads.

Before they had time to react, everyone subconsciously covered their ears with their hands, and stared blindly at the pothole that should have been filled with people but suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a half-meter-shattered pothole .

"Don't, don't be in a daze, quickly find where they are going!"

"Yes!"

A group of people regained their senses and looked around hoping to get some clues, but no one noticed anything unusual, except for a swordsman who turned blue and yelled.

"Report, report, it has been found!"

"Tell me where!"

"In the……"

Following the direction in which the swordsman stretched out his finger, everyone raised their heads to look at the vast light blue sky.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

There are two black spots the size of rice grains in the sky, which gradually move with the hurricane in the sky.

"I, do we really want to chase?"

"But, damn it! Chase me, leave half of it on guard, and let me chase the other half! You must be caught and interrogated, so that you can explain to the leader!"

Despite the thoughts of "it is impossible to predict the landing point" and "what kind of monster can jump to such a point" in their hearts, each swordsman still obediently followed the order.

Except for half of the swordsmen who were defending, the remaining half were heading in different directions like headless chickens.
