In the capital of the Kingdom of Swords, Weil, every swordsman, civilian, businessman, and a few mercenaries are all mixed together on the largest and widest street in the capital. The large number of people makes it impossible to walk smoothly, and they can only barely move forward by rubbing each other's shoulders.

In the center of the entire street, a passage was "forced" to allow a large number of horses to pass through.

The crowd of onlookers on both sides were all squeezed so hard that they couldn't even breathe. The civilians who were shorter or slender were overwhelmed by the huge crowd. Even so, the crowd still didn't subside, on the contrary, it gradually became stronger. crowded.

A large number of people are willing to endure this painful squeeze, all in the hope of witnessing this scene that they may not be able to see in their entire lives.

Everyone tried to stand on tiptoes and even climbed on the back of the stranger in front of them, trying to gain more sightlines in order to witness the "team" in the middle of the street.

The front row consists of three horses dedicated to the army as the vanguard. The horses are covered with dazzling white and expensive fabrics. The heads of the horses are equipped with exclusive silver helmets, and the limbs are covered with iron armor. Nearly [-]% of the skin color is pure white and silver. Made of combat clothing to cover.

The two knights on the horse are also wearing heavy silver and pure white noble armor with silver dragon-shaped helmets on their helmets, while the knight riding in the front has no helmet and wears the same gorgeous battle costume , carrying a dazzling bright red gun on his back, moving forward slowly with a dignified expression.

The center of the team appears to be moving in a square-shaped troop. There is a horse in each of the four corners. Heavy and huge long sticks are placed on the four-legged horses in the central troop. The purpose is naturally to share the weight of the huge coffin in the square evenly On four horses.

The coffin is painted with silver paint from the beginning to the end, and the surface is carved with pictures and words of the history of the kingdom of swords. There are a lot of pure white chrysanthemums around it. At the front of the coffin, there is a sparkling emerald green chrysanthemum, which will represent the country. The flag hangs high at the top, letting the breeze flutter.

At the rear of the team, all the monarchs wore expensive silver armor, and individual horses also rode forward slowly in silver armor—this was the first mourning meeting held by all monarchs in the kingdom of swords.

"Boss, why are you just passing by like this!"

"My lord, ah!"

"For the glory of the swordsman, please take me with you, sir!"

When the onlookers saw the coffin passing by their eyes, they were like humble servants subconsciously kneeling on the ground, weeping and screaming and mourning.

"Master Jieshi, war should be a costly affair, why would the Kingdom of Sword hold such a big event after the war?"

Also in the crowded crowd, the fair and immature face was squeezed to the point of being deformed, and the petite body was directly squeezed to float in the air, and the hands could not touch the ground smoothly, so one could only rely on the right hand held by the side to avoid being squeezed by the crowd like this go outside.

"I don't know."

In fact, many wooden billboards can be clearly seen from outside Weir, and the content on them is the information about the death of the leader.

It needs to be widely told to the public that it is reasonable behavior to plaster billboards all over the road, but the problem is that the guards in the capital did not check and search at the door, which seems weird.

In this way, if there are enemies of the Magic Kingdom or a third country lurking here, it would be a breeze, and it would undoubtedly put the country at risk, especially when there is no leader at this moment.

"Master Jieshi, it's really crowded here, woo! Don't hit me with your big butt, uncle, be careful I'll knock your ass off!"

The children next to him were obviously angry when they were squeezed, Jieshi looked at the coffin in the middle of the line with his lavender eyes for a few seconds, and finally took No. [-] and backed away.

"Let's find a place to rest first."

"Are you going to stay here for a few more days?"

"Just until tonight, when all the people in the capital mourn and lay flowers, just stay until that time."

"Hmm, is the leader of the kingdom of swords important to your lord?"

"Very important."

Shuttle through countless crowds, and quickly pass through tiny gaps.

"Wow! Auntie, you should lose weight!"

"Where did the stinky child come from!"

Among them, from time to time, No. [-] would argue with passers-by who collided with him, Jie Shi could only use a little force to force No. [-] to follow.

"Number Six, reduce arguments."

"Yes my lord!"

Despite this promise, Jieshi still quickened his footsteps, making use of the constantly changing angle of his shoulders and the scaling of his movement speed to move more smoothly.

"Huha! Suddenly the air feels so fresh!"

Moving beyond the outermost crowd, Number Six exhaled exaggeratedly as if gaining air, and looked at the full crowd with disgust.

"My lord, there are really too many people here! I really don't understand that since Vile can have so much food to raise swordsmen, why doesn't he take good care of the border villages?"

"The middle management and risks are all considerations."

Not intending to stay where he was wasting time, Jieshi turned around and walked towards one of the small alleys that could only accommodate two people.

"Hmm, it sounds like a lot of trouble, can't it be shipped directly from the capital?"

"Sometimes the complete system is the complex problem."

When No. [-] heard this, he put his hands on his head to try to think hard, and nodded vigorously after half a minute.

"I don't understand!"

"It's ok."

Walking peacefully on the uninhabited streets, usually the small streets of Vail would be difficult to pass due to the large number of merchants and shopping women, and more than half of the road surface is wet and muddy, making every step painful, but at this moment because Everyone ran to the main street, which seemed much quieter now.

"Master Jieshi is still several hours away from night, what are you going to do during this time?"

"Find a place to rest."

Briefly reiterated, but Six looked suspiciously at the large crowd behind.

"If you want to find a place to drink tea and eat, isn't there no place? Isn't everyone going to the main street?"

"Just hang around."

"Wander around?"

"I want to take a walk in peace."

"Good sir!"

Continue to walk towards the increasingly dark and narrow streets. When moving to the corner, Jieshi's toes hit a hard object that should not have existed, making a slight "clang" metallic sound.

Instead of screaming in surprise or feeling pain, he lowered his head and said "sorry" deliberately suppressing his voice.

"My lord, are you all right?"

Ignoring No. [-]'s worries beside him, Jieshi quickly walked past "this huge figure standing at the corner", wanting to leave the street quickly.

"I'm sorry, both of you, please take off the cloaks on your heads."

Not letting go of Jieshi and No. [-] covering their bodies with leather-colored cloaks, the swordsman kicked by Jieshi narrowed his eyes and demanded very unreasonable behavior.

However, when Jieshi saw the "Medal Exclusively for Patrol Swordsmen" hanging on the chest of this huge swordsman, his eyes immediately narrowed.

Whether it's the tone of voice or the badge on the chest, they are all the usual "Patrol Troops that Pay Attention to Vigilance" in the Kingdom of Swords.

"Sure enough, it's a trap again."

When Jieshi entered from the gate of the capital, he originally thought that the omission in defense was caused by the leader's previous impact.

Now it does not appear to be under-guarded, on the contrary it is "very defensive".

I'm afraid he was already being targeted the moment he entered the capital.

"I don't know what kind of authority this swordsman-sama has to make such a request?"

"I'm sorry I haven't disclosed my identity yet. I'm a swordsman from the Vail Patrol Team in the Kingdom of Swords. According to regulations, I have the right to interrogate any suspicious person at this serious time."

"You mean I'm suspicious?"

Hearing Jieshi's soft response, the other party still maintained a certain degree of politeness, but the surroundings began to make the sound of "stamping" running - all the swordsmen patrolling around gathered here.

"I'm sorry, this is my job."

"clear."

Jiexi quietly stretched out his hands to take off the cloak covering his head, and showed his appearance clearly to the other party.

Seeing such a cooperative move, No. [-] reluctantly took off the hood, and let the long bright red hair float in the air.

"Your appearance... But, purple eyes?"

The swordsman conducting the interrogation seemed to have a similar face in his memory, but he couldn't remember frowning when he saw those purple eyes exuding invisible oppression.

"And then you... long bright red hair tied into twin ponytails and bright red eyes."

Silently describing No. [-]'s appearance, he frowned more forcefully, took out "a large stack of wanted lists" from the simple backpack on his waist, and carefully read the papers one after another with his eyes.

Swish.

Just as his eyes were looking at the content of the wanted list, a sharp piercing sound pierced the air, and when the swordsman on patrol was about to draw the long sword on his waist for guard, he realized that the wanted list in his hand had been cut at some time It was broken into two halves, and then his hands were unable to move, and his eyes fell to the ground quickly, unable to move.

Snapped.

The huge body fell to the ground without any struggle.

"Walk."

He didn't put the cloak back on his head, but took No. [-] quickly through countless alleys.

"Master Jieshi, I thought you would obediently wait for him to finish his inspection."

"We were drawn into the wanted list before, and when he took out the wanted list, I realized my mistake."

"Huh? Why do you say that, my lord?"

"I underestimated their vigilance too much. I'm afraid we have already been included in the observation targets as early as at the gate."

As if to confirm this sentence, loud running sounds gradually began to sound in the corners of houses and streets.

"Well, but from the beginning until now, I don't think there is any problem, and we are not the only ones wearing cloaks that cover the whole body."

"That's right, so there is some reason or way of knowing who we are, and no matter what, I will still carry out my reason for coming here."

"Yes! Please let me follow you all the time!"

"Next..."

Turning the corner again, Jieshi picked up No. [-], quickly jumped up with both feet, and jumped directly to the roof of one of the houses.

Lavender eyes looked at the "subject" who was only half a meter away.

"Looks like it wasn't just the swordsman on patrol that found it."

Before the person standing on the roof in front of him showed a startled expression, Jieshi stretched out his right hand and directly grabbed the opponent's thin neck and crushed him to the roof.

Snapped.

The fingertips pressed hard on the ground, and the air in the opponent's throat was forcibly pushed out, and the weak wail of "uah".

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a member of the Empiri family's army."

Lavender looked at the pale man with a slender figure in front of him.

No matter the ordinary clothes or the ordinary weapons worn on the body, there is nothing special about them, but just because such an ordinary guy would deliberately stay on the roof is enough to make people suspicious.

"Wow, it's disgusting that someone has been spying on us from above, but how does Master Jieshi know the identity of this person?"

"Jie, Jieshi..."

The locked throat forced out a sound, and the pain of suffocation made his eyes bloodshot, and the expression that emerged appeared even more ferocious and distorted.

"That's right, I'm Sitno Jesh."

Huh-bang.

The small matter shot from a long distance made a loud bombardment directly in front of Kez, and emitted a gray-black gas that spread out rapidly.

Jieshi subconsciously let go of his strength and grabbed No. [-] and jumped behind him, avoiding his body being caught in the "□□" attack.

"Huh? Where did this come from?"

"It's not a specialty of the Kingdom of Simple Swords."

The lavender eyes stared at the scenery that had turned into a cloud of pitch-black smoke in front of him. Even with the breeze blowing, the gray smoke was still not blown away.

"Is it an item used by the Empiri family troops to escape?"

Jie Shi felt a little admiration for the scene of looking around but seeing nothing.

"Master Jieshi, is it alright to let that person run away like this?"

At the moment of the explosion, the captured person ran away in other directions. In order to avoid being caught, he even jumped back to the crowded street to cover his footsteps and whereabouts.

"I let it go on purpose, in order to keep the families of this group of troops on guard."

"Hmm, why did Jaish-sama do this?"

"Come on, let's get out of here now."

Looking at the eyes of the patrolling swordsmen who were gradually increasing under the house and the civilians on the street, Jessica jumped from No. [-] to another house, jumped down in the direction of fewer people, and put the cloak back on his head Go up, turn around and walk towards "Vir's Cemetery".

"Where is Jaish-sama going now?"

"The glorious battlefield known as the glory of the swordsman."

"Field of Glory?"

"The cemetery of the swordsmen who died in battle in the past."

"Well, why are you going there?"

"Does Six have any doubts about this?"

"Huh? No, it's just that kind of place... I feel very sad."

"Why do you say that?"

Shuttle through the streets and alleys of different sizes, the sound of running around has no tendency to stop at all, forcing Jieshi to keep moving faster.

"Well, I don't know how to say it. I always feel like I'm looking at other people's 'failure'."

"For Number Six, is surviving success?"

"Yes, because you are alive, you can do what you want to do, you can laugh, and you can enjoy the warmth of being with everyone again."

A simple and unadorned answer, but upon hearing this answer, Jie Shi very much agrees.

At least in this twisted world, he agrees with such simple happiness.

"Where is Master Jieshi? Do you also think that being alive is considered success?"

Unexpectedly, No. [-] would ask the question in turn. When he heard this "question that should be answered smoothly", Jieshi closed his mouth and fell into a moment of silence.

For nearly 5 minutes, I spoke softly with a volume that only I could hear.

"Sometimes death is success."

After finishing speaking, Jieshi stepped through the unguarded doorway, changed to walking and walked slowly past a large oval-shaped tombstone and several translucent stone obelisks that were almost as large as houses.

"Why are some people's names on plain stones and others on that big rock that looks like crystal?"

Quickly walk through these cemeteries of past swordsmen, and move on to another newest cemetery.

"The stones represent the swordsmen and people of different positions in the kingdom of swords, while the steles are engraved with the names of the swordsmen who died in battle, as well as the names of those people whose bodies were never found."

"I can't get it back, but a big piece has already been written densely, and there are still several pieces here..."

"I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred thousand swordsmen, all the resentful souls who resent death, and the lonely souls who can't even find a home, are probably here."

People consider such a tragedy as "the glory of the swordsman".

After saying this softly, he walked up to a stone tablet, untied the black scabbard around his waist, took it to his own hands, knelt on the ground with one foot, and placed the "weapon made by himself" on the In front of the stone tablet engraved with "a certain name".

Among the large amount of text, only the name was enlarged in particular.

"It says Empiri Kano? Is that Empiri nobleman?"

"That's right."

"Hmm, the swordsman you let go just now seems to be a member of the Empiri family's army?"

"This is to let him go back and report well, and let the Empiri family guard the house and other important places. I believe that this indifferent cemetery will not be watched by people from the army."

Although it sounded very reasonable, Number Six frowned with a distressed expression.

Because this is a place that Jieshi himself told him is "a place that doesn't matter", but it is a place that Jieshi insists on coming here even though he has spent a lot of effort.

"Do you want to put this handmade long sword here?"

Seeing Jieshi's actions, No. [-]'s bright red eyes widened in surprise, unable to understand why he did this.

No. [-] is not aware of the strength of this weapon, but No. [-] has seen the production process that day, especially the scene of Jie showing his skin corroded by the high temperature and his muscles grabbing the weapon. No. [-] understands this weapon very well. The importance of weapons to Jieshi.

But in front of him, he wanted to use this weapon as a gift and place it in front of the tombstone of someone who didn't know whose name it was.

"This is a promise, and it's also a conclusion...Kana, this person, has fulfilled her last wish during her lifetime."

Tread, step, step.

When the weapon was lightly placed in front of the tombstone, a large number of footsteps sounded from all directions, using encirclement tactics to seal off all escape routes.

Standing up again and looking slowly over the scene of "almost being covered by a large number of swordsmen", Jieshi put his hand on the dark purple "magic sword" on his back that seemed to be about to move.

"According to the portraits on the arrest warrant, both of them are wanted criminals. They should be arrested immediately according to the regulations. Put down your weapons and declare your surrender!"

As this order spread throughout the cemetery, all the swordsmen, about forty in number, drew their long swords one after another.

"Unexpectedly, I haven't seen it for hundreds of days. Some students have become members of the patrol force."

Looking at this group of "barely familiar" faces, Jieshi deliberately floated his words in a tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone that most of them could hear.

"Hey, what is this man talking about?"

"Don't worry about it, he's a wanted criminal, he won't be a normal person."

"It's time to arrest."

The eyes that turned deep purple watched the group of whispering "young swordsmen" put up a fighting stance, and the corners of their mouths were slightly raised unconsciously, but the joyful smile was full of bitterness.

"Leave first, my lord, as long as I am number six here alone is enough!"

He took the initiative to stand in front of Jieshi, but he didn't have a weapon in his hands, but clenched his fists and wanted to fight alone.

Patting No. [-] on the shoulder, his deep purple eyes fixed on the young swordsman in the front row.

"Number Six, I once said that a person's name is just a code name, and the meaning of existence is not important, because I think the so-called living is not the beating of the heart, but what you do during the beating time to "let others remember you", even if the heart Stop functioning, when others remember you, it means you are still alive.”

"grown ups?"

"And I'm afraid I died a long time ago."

Use your right hand to slowly pull out the magic sword on your back, the sword body flashes a strong dark purple light, exuding a strange and oppressive heavy magnetic field, making all the swordsmen back half a step with distorted faces, fearing that they will be killed by this force The light is stained.

"Number Six, I will build a road for you. Go to the city gate and kill the guards hiding in hiding. I don't want the news to spread back to Weier so quickly."

"Yes, my lord!"

Jieshi held the shining magic sword in his right hand, his dark purple pupils began to blend with the golden yellow tone, he took half a step towards the city gate, and swung down the magic sword with the forward force——

boom!

A "space fluctuation" clearly visible to the naked eye overlapped wave after wave, and the huge wave formed continued to spray towards the city gate without stopping.

Cut open the air, ground, and "space".

"Ahhhhh!"

"Ahhh!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Looking at the offensive "far beyond common sense", the swordsmen seemed to forget to think and appeared sluggish, their bodies trembling and stopped in place, until the energy penetrated through their bodies, and they didn't think "the body was cut".

"go."

"Yes!"

Following this offensive to form an "unimpeded road", No. [-] lightly stepped over several bodies lying on the ground that were no longer shaking, his bright red eyes shone like bloodthirsty brilliance, and with a frightening hearty smile, he galloped forward. To the city gate.

"Stop, stop that monster! Be sure to pass the information back to the rulers of Vile!"

"I won't let you do what you want."

tread.

A crisp footstep pierced through the entire air, and the ground shook violently like a collapse. The soil under all the feet shattered like glass, causing the trampled ground to fall down.

"Goodbye, former classmates and friends."

The deep purple eyes looked at all the swordsmen present, and everyone received an instinctive fear and timidity from their eyes, their feet were limp and unable to support them, their hands let go of the weapons in their hands weakly, their eyes were pale and congested. He stared at the "monster far surpassing the human scale" in front of him.

"Why, why... It's just one person, but we have a group of people! Body, body!"

Not waiting for this swordsman who couldn't even utter a complete sentence clearly, Jie Shi swung the magic sword in his hand again.

The forty swordsman troops were easily crushed.
