beep, beep...

Looking at the scene of the rain hitting the ground with pitch-black eyes, he sat quietly on one of the branches of the giant tree, gently stroking the wound that was slightly scratched by the wind pressure generated by the giant sword with his left hand.

Looking down at the ground from a position in the sky, it is impossible to see the small figures on the branches from a large number of giant trees, but the slender body inside the giant trees can see the dragons wandering around in the sky through the gaps in the leaves and branches. group.

This is an excellent position as a resting, monitoring position.

call out.

There was a sharp sound piercing the air, and the gray-black sword tip with some kind of totem on it stopped suddenly a few centimeters away from Jieshi's eyes——Jeshe pulled out the sheath of the black sword on his waist with his right hand, and used the black sword The hilt swung into the opponent's attacking right hand.

The other party did not reveal the sound of footsteps from a distance to the front of Jieshi, and the silent movement was very proficient, especially the rhythm of pulling out the long sword from the scabbard and swinging it was also quite good. The raid was defeated.

If it's someone who really wants to rest and doesn't even have a blooming domain, a sneak attack will be a serious injury even if it doesn't take life.

"It's a pity. There are so many people who sneaked up on me that I can't count them. I almost forgot how to put away the domain."

Deliberately speaking with the other party in a relaxed tone of chatting, those bright green eyes have not eliminated the sharp and cold gaze.

After confronting each other for a few seconds, the other party slowly put away their weapons, without even intending to say anything, and took a step forward as if to leave.

Seeing such a figure, Jieshi quietly closed his eyes.

Even if you have a thousand words, I am afraid it is not suitable to say more.

thump.

There was an obvious sound of footsteps, and the sound was judged to be the sound of jumping to leave——clang!

When the black sword collided with the opponent's weapon, there were faint bright yellow sparks.

Jie Shi didn't even have time to stand up, the figure who was supposed to leave had already swung the next blow.

Clang, clang!

While maintaining a half-squat position, he swung the black sword to resist every blow one by one.

The other party frowned in displeasure, and finally took the initiative to take a few steps back.

"If you think that my domain will be closed because of your leaving footsteps, then you are underestimating me."

Without Jieshi's relaxed attitude, he relaxed his guard and assumed a fighting stance at a distance of a few meters.

"You, who are supposed to belong to the logistics, don't hurry up and care about the life and death of the leader, is it really okay?"

"...you don't need to worry about it."

Just a few kilometers away from the two of them was a flat land with almost nothing.

Strictly speaking, it was almost flattened by someone's destruction.

"I'm not going to ask why you're here."

"A chance encounter."

"right."

The conversation ended briefly, and Jie Shi could only sit back on the branch helplessly, looking at what the other party was trying to do from time to time.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"what?"

"To kill so many people with the black sword."

"Hmm... Maybe when people are forced to die, they can only resist?"

"If it was Jieshi, he wouldn't do this. He would rather sacrifice himself than do this kind of thing."

"The magic sword is me, and I am the magic sword. In this way, do you still need to guess who I am?"

"If you talk too much, you have already proved that you are not just the magic sword itself."

"right……"

Those bright green eyes seemed to see through every part of Jieshi, without any intention of moving away. This "experimental" gaze was very similar to Feng Ao in Jieshi's memory.

"If Jieshi would really do this, there must be other reasons."

"I'm not interested."

"For example, to protect the village behind me, or for some larger reason."

"It's just speculation."

"I don't agree with using the life of the village to guide you out."

"I'm not doing it for the village, let alone for any reason, and if what you said is heard by Bupo, I'm afraid it will directly charge you with a crime, right?"

"It doesn't matter, no one will listen to what the Demon King said."

"Aha, that's right, how can anyone believe the words of the Demon King?"

Laughing softly like self-deprecating, but within a few seconds, he immediately smiled, as if he didn't really feel the emotion of wanting to laugh, it was more like a pure disguise.

"What do those dragons in the sky have to do with you?"

"Ask me questions all the time, aren't you afraid I'll kill you out of boredom?"

The pitch-black eyes are piercingly directed at the opponent, revealing without any concealment the powerful oppression that "far surpasses human existence".

Click, click, click...

The aura radiated made the two magic swords on his body flicker with faint light, and the surrounding raindrops seemed to generate fear, and the normal low sound disappeared, and the sight and hearing were easily taken away by the demon king in front of him.

However, the other party said the next sentence with a flat face.

"Then you will kill me."

"what?"

Jiexi frowned, the flickering light patterns dissipated quickly, the sound of heavy rain dripping reappeared normally, and the coldness and dampness that should have been around was imprinted on the skin again.

"If it's really the cold-blooded demon king, then I won't be missing, and I'll be killed too."

"...Are you risking your life, or your own life."

"Remember this sword?"

Feng Ao put down his fighting stance, easily exposing the flaws in his whole body, and raised the dark long sword in his hand so that Jie Shi could see clearly.

"What do you want to say?"

"This sword is exactly my sister's dream. It is a long sword made of new elements tempered by the fusion of elements. The blade is made of Belo hard steel, and its hardness is comparable to that of a divine sword."

In the confrontation with the black sword just now, the long sword in Feng Ao's hand did not split.

"so what?"

"This sword is like my sister's will. If I don't know everything, I won't forgive myself."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What are you hiding? I just want to ask about that."

"Hehe, there is no such thing? You are really annoying, can you shut up?"

"What exactly are you trying to do, I just want to know this."

"I told you you were annoying!"

tread.

In the sitting position, with his toes lightly kicked up, Jiexi leaned against Feng Ao a few centimeters away, and the black sword in his hand was directly attached to Feng Ao's neck.

drip...

The sharp sword peak easily opened a wound.

"Woo..."

The sudden attack caused Feng Ao to forcibly pull out the emotion of "fear" in his heart, his slender body trembled slightly, and subconsciously backed away.

tread.

However, in the next step, Feng Ao stopped the trembling heels and maintained a posture that exposed his flaws. As if to find a belief that could be at ease, he held the long sword tightly with both hands and let the black sword rest on his neck.

He didn't just leave like this, didn't plan to run away because of fear, and didn't choose to retreat with "the attitude of asking again next time", showing his determination to find the truth even if he risked his life.

"Tell me, is the appearance of these dragons related to your black sword attack just now?"

Allowing his life to be threatened by the black sword, he forcefully squeezed out a question from his burning and thirsty throat.

"..."

"Answer, otherwise, kill me."

"..."

"I want to know the truth, I want to know, Jieshi, what exactly do you want to do."

"..."

"Please... At least let me know what my trusted Jieshi is going to do."

"..."

Click.

Jie Shi lowered his head, put away the black sword, turned around and returned to the position just now, and sat down on the branch as if resentful.

"I can't believe it if you say it was a coincidence."

"It was indeed a chance encounter. I want to get back the paulownia tree sword."

"The sword of the captain of the hostage team? It turned out to be just a trivial matter, but you took the initiative to let me know about it. Aren't you afraid that I will preach that the Empiri family can't keep secrets at all?"

"No one will believe what you say."

"Aha, this sentence is inexplicably convincing, so you just want to say, this is really just a chance encounter?"

"That's right."

"A chance encounter is a situation where you are not even mentally prepared, and you want to ask the truth if you give up your life casually. What is going on in your head?"

"This is what I want to ask, and no one believes what you say, except me."

Looking at Feng Ao's firm eyes, what Jieshi thought about was not the word "except me" full of trust, but the word "no one would believe it".

As if for self-forgiveness and redemption, Jieshi closed his eyes and blurted out lightly.

"That's right, at this point, no matter what they say, they won't believe it, and what do you think? Are you happy, or are you sad for me from the bottom of your heart, or are you even more angry?"

"..."

"Yes, these dragons are indeed caused by the ability of the black sword, but it is indirect rather than direct."

"What's the meaning?"

"The power of the black sword caused the earth to wail, and this "message" transmitted through the ground and the sky awakened that damned guy from his sleep."

He couldn't understand what Jieshi was talking about, but since Jieshi didn't show a joking expression, Fengao continued to listen quietly, even if he wasted a little time in recovering the Excalibur and the meeting about the endgame, Fengao still planned to listen.

"You must have heard cute fairy tale heroes when you were young, right?"

Jieshi raised his head and looked at the dragons through the gap.

"When the devil harms the people, a hero will jump out and become a hero to defeat the devil and restore peace to the world."

"Yes, this is a fairy tale that every child knows."

"Ah, that's all. The legendary hero is about to wake up."

"Hero... you want to kill the so-called brave man, then what?"

"Nature is to unify the world. I want to create a peaceful world. I have made it very clear at the meeting."

"Then what is the detailed plan?"

"It was also said at the meeting that force is everything."

"..."

"When fear swallows everyone and uses force to rule, all people can be equal, and everyone can let go of their inner discrimination and live."

Feng Ao was not present at the meeting at that time, so he was unable to know the atmosphere and other people's reactions in detail.

But after listening to these words, Feng Ao slowly shook his head after thinking for a while.

"you are lying."

"what?"

"Because this appearance is just like the demon king in fairy tales, and it will only bring disaster. Jieshi can't expect such an ending."

"...You are really the first person to refute my arguments like this, but at this point, you should understand, right? It is impossible to change, my fate as a demon king, the so-called truth is not at all It's important."

"I would like to know."

"Don't you understand?"

"I would like to know."

"you……"

"I would like to know."

The stubborn attitude made Jieshi think of "the rock-like awkwardness of Fengao in the past".

When he was still in the hostage team, Feng Ao often showed this kind of attitude that he would not allow others to change.

"Ah, that's right. If it's Fuuuku, he'll be very stubborn."

For a moment, even though it was only a few tenths of a second, Feng Ao saw the thin, leisurely and foolish smile on Jieshi's face—the smile that often appeared when he was the captain of the hostage team.

"... Jieshi."

"Sure enough, let's start with the reason why the holy sword appeared...and about the legendary power that the holy sword possesses."
