After finishing his usual exercise in the morning, Jieshi went back to his residence in the academy and lay down on a hard wooden plank. He closed his eyes and began to think about how to explain that the king knew about the secret mission.

knock.

There was a sound of fingers hitting the wooden door, coupled with this restrained pattern that only sounded once, Jie Shi subconsciously knew who was standing outside the door.

"what?"

Put away the relaxed mood just now, stand up and open the wooden door, in front of you is a strong man covered in silver armor, his face is full of serious and majestic terrible coercion.

"I need your help."

"I don't know how I can help you."

"I want to adjust my physical sensitivity to the best."

"Isn't morning exercise enough for this kind of thing?"

Every time Jieshi thinks about the morning exercise, he will feel tired for a while, and he just wants to shut his mouth and waste his tongue and lie down on the bed.

And now the contestant in front of Jieshi, who is preparing for the competition tomorrow, wants to pull others out to fight.

The person you are facing is Dun, so even if you struggle, it is probably impossible to successfully refuse.

"That can only maintain normal physical strength and muscular endurance."

"Can't you use your usual strength?"

"It takes the best acuity to fight."

After Dun finished speaking, he grabbed the wooden door with his right hand to prevent Jie Shi from closing the door to escape.

That's right, a tough and resolute attitude, never giving Jie Shi a chance to dodge or refuse.

"Hey, let me put on a coat first. I told you not to grab too hard, or you will have to pay for the repair of the wooden door."

He grabbed the brown coat and the green rapier on the wooden board, murmured softly, turned around and walked outside.

"So where are you going to fight? It won't be the capital, right? But it will cause a lot of public resentment."

"A small flat in the middle of the mountain on the right."

Following the direction of his fingers, what Jieshi saw was only countless high mountains that could reach the level of clouds, but Jieshi knew the detailed location, after all, the person who discovered the secret location was Jieshi himself.

"Speaking of which, you should know something about the girls of the Fire Family, right? I absolutely don't believe that you didn't investigate."

Afraid of being bored on the way forward, Jie Shi took the initiative to ask this question, and it should be said that this is probably the only topic that can make Dun respond.

According to Dun's reserved personality, it is inevitable to investigate the opponent's moves, skills and habits. The key point is how to deal with it.

"Fen, I'm used to using the sawdust from the leather around my waist to cause friction in the air, plus a little bit of my own mental power to quickly draw out the flames, and then use my mind to control it."

"Is it because you are good at tricks like fireballs?"

The image of those students using magic in the academy quickly came to Jieshi's mind. As long as the distant relatives of the nobles can enter the academy, including those children born privately by nobles and ordinary people.

After all, no matter how rare the purebred bloodline is, it still has the talent for magic.

The magic of ordinary students in the academy, for example, students of the Fire family usually summon fireballs to attack, and the Ice family condenses shards of ice to attack.

It's just that this is usually the power of "ordinary students" who are distant relatives of nobles.

"Miss Fen is said to be able to use these spells at the age of eight. Her personal habit is to use moves with a wide range of damage."

"This should consume your body and energy faster, right? Could it be that you plan to fight a war of attrition?"

Jieshi has also stayed in the Magic Kingdom for more than a year, especially in the academy most of the time, he still knows a little bit about magic, even though he is still tired from the exam, he just wants to sleep well.

Using magic will consume mana. The so-called mana refers to the spirit of the body. If the consumption exceeds the level that can be loaded, it will cause a coma or even permanent damage.

And the consumption of mana with a large range and high damage is even more frighteningly fast.

"Impossible, I can only fight quickly."

"why?"

Dun took a deep look at Jie Shi, although there was no expression on his face, but that staring breath released the idiot message of "You idiot".

"Before I exhaust her to the point of unconsciousness, I'll be scorched."

"Oh, that's right. Even a strong swordsman can't survive the high temperature of the flames, so you'll attack immediately from the beginning? But it's impossible to cut her directly, right? That's against the rules."

"It must be resolved extremely quickly, so fast that the other party cannot react."

Coma, this is naturally one of the judgments of victory and defeat. After all, the so-called coma is the loss of consciousness, which is equivalent to losing the ability to move. However, although there are many ways to make the opponent lose the ability to move, it is difficult to execute.

If you want to make the opponent lose consciousness from the beginning, the speed required cannot be achieved by the human body, so this possibility must naturally be deleted.

"Your speed doesn't mean attacking right from the start?"

"While the opponent casts magic, look for a gap to cut into the rear, and attack the defenseless back."

"Probably the only way?"

Thinking about it carefully, there is probably only this action left, a method with a low probability.

Thinking of this, Jie Shi sighed inwardly, and understood a little bit that the main reason why this guy would train before the game instead of taking a good rest was probably to increase his own crisis awareness and nerves as much as possible, so as to increase the probability of success to some extent.

It is indeed reasonable, but Jie Shi still thinks that he is very unlucky, and even has to do the work of sparring.

Showing the pass to the city gate guards, and heading out to the high mountains surrounded by grasslands and forests, Jieshi tightly held the rapier in his hand, thinking about how he would interpret the matter with the king.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh? What?"

"You are absent-minded, from departure to now."

The sudden words made Jieshi's heart beat a beat slower and he jumped up in fright.

"When did you become a disgusting observer like Noser? I'm not a woman?"

"what are you talking about?"

Ignoring Jieshi's joking words, Dun still maintained the high-spirited demeanor that a swordsman should have, but judging from his tone, Dun obviously noticed something strange.

The worry in his heart couldn't hide from this guy at all.

"Ugh."

Jie Shi sighed deeply, confirmed that there was no one on the hillside where the two walked, and began to speak in a low voice.

"Remember the exclusive orders of the captain and vice-captain?"

Continuously moving forward without shortening the moving distance, and the frequency has not changed, just maintaining the look of contemplation, Jieshi already knows the change in the mood at this moment.

"The king of the Magic Kingdom knows our captain's exclusive mission."

call.

Even if he was walking beside Dun, he could still clearly hear the sound of Dun's hard breathing. It was obvious that even the calm Dun was shocked.

"Why would the king know?"

"God knows, but he told me in private that if you win this time, you will secretly give us more rewards, a piece of information about the Divine Sword, and the only existence in this world, the Holy Sword."

For the first time, he stopped his pace, closed his eyes and lowered his head, completely immersed in his own thoughts.

"This is a big deal."

"I don't need you to tell me, especially since we don't know how the king found out, I'm almost scared to death just thinking about it, and I almost can't sleep."

Although he said so, in fact Jieshi fell asleep smoothly in less than a minute.

"It must be reciprocated."

"and many more."

Grasping the moment when he turned his head immediately, Jieshi sighed deeply again.

"It must be reciprocated."

Staring at Jieshi calmly, he repeated it deliberately and his tone was much lower to judge that he was already in an unhappy mood.

"We can't answer the letter in a fair and bright way. It is because of the seriousness of the situation that we need to act cautiously. The severity is more important than the right to participate. We can't make such a big move in return. This will only attract the attention of the Magic Kingdom."

"What does the captain mean?"

Jie Shi has always been very uncomfortable with the word captain, especially in front of Dun, who is more shrewd and capable than himself.

"Oh, actually, I haven't thought of it yet, anyway, I want to win now."

Dun didn't refute because of the perfunctory response, and continued to move forward in silence.

Invisibly, it gave Jieshi a pressure.

This matter must be handled properly, but Jie Shi has no idea what to do next.

What's more troublesome is that Dun next to him doesn't seem to have any objections, and puts the word trust on Jieshi, putting the pressure on Jieshi completely.

Dun did not deliberately shirk responsibility, but as a long-term friend, a long-term acquaintance, and finally made a "judgment".

He chose to trust Jieshi, a Jieshi who didn't know how to carry out the next step.

Walking to the middle of the two high mountains, there is a flat land about [-] meters away. Although there are stones, uneven ground, and some fog floating in it, the air is so thin that it is easy to breathe quickly. It is a very harsh environment, but for For both of them, this is the best place.

"There can't be people here, and it's very demanding on the body. It's really great as the last concentrated exercise. Okay, anyway, get ready to start. I don't want to go down the mountain and encounter a bunch of bugs."

Jieshi walked to a position about seven meters away from Dun, put the green scabbard on his waist, drew out the green rapier inside, and pointed the tip of the sword at his target.

"Jieshe, come out."

"Ouza Sacrodon, come out."

Looking at the opponent with a huge body, he felt oppressed before he even started to show.

The whole body, including the joints of the arms and feet, was covered with silver armor. If it weren't for the dignified eyes under the helmet, Jie Shi would have regarded the human in front of him as a real iron-clad monster.

What was even more frightening was that besides the big and strong body beside him, the giant sword held by the opponent with one hand made his scalp tingle just by looking at it.

A legendary weapon, far heavier and bulkier than ordinary weapons, released an abnormal pressure that could not be moved.

Although the appearance has been maintained diligently, there are still stains and decay that cannot be cleaned after a long time. If it is not for the hilt made of stone, ordinary people may only think that it is just a huge rock like a sword.

thump.

I saw that when Dun kicked his feet forward, the squeezed ground was immediately crushed to pieces, and a pothole was directly shattered in the center.

Clang!

The weight of the gigantic figure and the giant sword squeezed onto Jieshe's rapier at once, receiving the impact force like dozens of rocks sweeping over, Jieshe just touched it and the whole body was unable to resist the impact directly back.

"Ah!"

boom!

It directly hit the hard mountain wall behind him, his body sank deep, and the cold and wet feeling poured into his head from his back.

"You guys used all your strength from the beginning."

The other party said that he had to use all his strength to fight, but when he thought that the other party's name was Dun, Jie Shi could only think that he was too stupid.

"Don't use all your strength, you will die."

After saying these terrifying words, Dun once again raised the epee with his right hand, which ordinary people couldn't even lift, and swooped forward with both feet.

"It's disgusting!"

Dun's attitude was that he didn't intend to give time or release water, Jie Shi clenched his teeth, quickly closed his right eye, and his left hand tightly grasped the blue-green thin double-edged sword in his hand, grasping the opponent's powerful and fast sword. The trajectory of the swing hit the opponent's weapon hard.

Clang.

This time, he was not sent flying into the mountain wall that already had a human figure behind him, but his feet sank into the ground, and the weapons of both sides did not advance or retreat, presenting a confrontation—Jieshe successfully resisted Dun’s sword that was far beyond normal outrageous brute force.

"Are you serious?"

The offensive was stopped, and he moved sideways one step at a time, and swung the huge sword at the gap created by Jieshi's closed right eye—without any mercy, it was a ruthless offensive that would exert its full strength as soon as it saw any gap, it was a ruthless attack with An attack carried out by the determination to destroy Jieshi!

"It's so merciless!"

With experience and judgment, when Jieshi saw the giant creature disappearing in front of his eyes, he probably knew the opponent's movement, and reflexively moved the rapier in his hand to the right side that was completely dark because of his closed eyes.

Clang!

There was the sound of metal colliding again, and countless dazzling sparks flickered in the dense fog.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

The continuous slashing was constantly blocked by Jieshi, but Jieshi's cheeks were obviously much paler, while Dun still looked calm, leaving only a few drops of sweat at most.

"Open your right eye, otherwise there will only be more flaws."

After finishing speaking, Dun launched another attack, deliberately moving one step to the right each time, obviously aiming at Jieshi's right side which was completely dark with his right eye closed.

"It's really despicable."

"On the battlefield, there are only winners and losers."

Attack from the bottom up and directly shovel Jieshi from the ground, and throw it hard to the ground.

"Woo!"

Falling to the ground, howling in pain, complaining "Damn it!", and jumping back to distance himself.

After confirming that the distance between them was in a responsive state, Jiexi finally slowly opened his right eye in desperation—a bright golden pupil.

"The secret of the bloodline and the divine sword, you are more suitable for fighting."

"Speaking of this again...? When will you make such a bad joke? When you close your right eye to fight, not only can you not see the right side, but you will also have errors in distance and accuracy judgments."

While talking, Jieshi vigorously shook off the mist on the blade, and approached Dun with light steps.

This is the first time Jieshi took the initiative to attack.

Clang!

The weapons of the two sides collided again, and as a result, Jiexi turned around and jumped up—stepping on Dun's giant sword.

When the rapier was about to stab Dun's armor, Dun drew back the giant sword to make Jieshi lose his foothold, and while Jieshi was in the air and couldn't move immediately, he swung his armor-covered fist.

boom!

The simple clothes made of only a few pieces of cloth were directly smashed into the shoulder by the fist covered by the hard armor, and the sparse fallen leaves around were bombarded by this force until they shattered.

"Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuto

He was hit directly without any resistance, and although his shoulder immediately wailed in pain, Jie Shi still jumped back to avoid being swept up by the opponent's other attack with a huge sword.

"Ah, what a nuisance, this sudden surge of strange feeling is destroying my fighting feeling at all."

Despite all the complaints, from under Dun's eyelids, the golden eye in his right eye continued to burn like a golden flame, as if it symbolized an endless supply of powerful power.

"There have always been doubts."

"It's so strange, you will have doubts."

They didn't stop because of the conversation with each other, and immediately kicked up their feet and rushed forward after opening their mouths. The entire ground that was squeezed gradually began to sink unbearably.

"Why do you want to hide your own power so much?"

Clang!

They collided again, and the sharp sound of metal sounded again. The ground cracked from the middle unsupportably, and the mist was blown away from the space between the two of them, and then it recovered again.

"I told you, it's a secret enforced by the state!"

Clang!

Jieshi kept looking for gaps along the trajectory of the giant sword, dodging if he could dodge, and forcibly blocking if he couldn't, while the opponent continued to attack without giving Jieshi a chance at all.

A series of actions, no matter it is a gesture or a pause, is repeated continuously, and there is no progress at all in terms of progress.

"I've said this reason too many times!"

boom!

The attack dodged by Jieshi split the ground in half, splashed a lot of mud, and the surrounding area quickly cracked with spider patterns.

In just a few minutes, the originally flat ground became a mess.

"what?"

Dodging left and right along the splashing rocks, Jieshi's right foot plunged into the pothole that was stepped on just now.

"Why did you hide it so far!"

Jieshi subconsciously felt something bad and wanted to pull out his right foot to escape, but Dun had already jumped to the top and raised his giant sword high.

"It turned out to be a trap. You deliberately created a pothole to get me stuck here. It's amazing!"

Despite the constant compliments, the opponent's ferocious attack, which intended to destroy everything with one blow, still did not stop. Jie Shi clenched his teeth tightly, holding the hilt of the sword with his left hand and pressing the blade with his right palm when he couldn't dodge.

It is necessary to accept the strongest impact that far exceeds all previous strength!

when!

Far surpassing the previous few collisions, the resulting sparks lit up the entire space, and the fog in the entire open space was instantly blown away by the shock waves created by the two men's weapons, making the sun that was about to set clearly visible, and the rapier was even slightly bent for the first time. Dun's whole body trembled with all his strength, and the blood vessels on his face were exposed through the skin.

Crack clack, bang bang bang bang.

The flat ground could not withstand the impact at all, it completely collapsed, and a large amount of material turned into mud rolled down the steep slope next to it.

Jieshi, who had nowhere to escape, took these stones as a foothold for jumping, and quickly jumped to the small flat ground below which he was ignoring.

With a sword pause, the giant sword was inserted into the steep slope and quickly stabilized its posture.

The two are still fighting, but out of the corners of their eyes, they can still see that the original plane has been turned into countless mud, rolling down the dead wood and river bed below.

"Do you want to continue?"

According to a normal game, this was considered a forced end due to the inability of the field to attack, but Jie Shi was worried about Dun's stubborn thinking, so he asked softly.

"The ground is rotting, it's over."

After calmly speaking, he put the giant sword behind his back, turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Are you really in a hurry? You gave up and went back?"

As the two walked back, Jieshi's right eye had turned into its usual normal color.

"You said you wanted to go back before night."

Following Dun's finger, you can see the dark orange sun rapidly descending between the two mountains.

"Yeah, but you've regained your senses, haven't you?"

"About."

"Such vague words can be heard from your mouth, alas, anyway, you just need to have the answer."

"Yes."

These words undoubtedly aroused Jie Shi's curiosity, but from Dun's tired look that was dripping with sweat, Jie Shi planned to actually watch it the next day to be able to understand.

In addition, there was another thing that caught Jie Shi's attention the most.

"Could it be that what you said in battle just now was serious?"

"What words?"

"My secret should not be hidden."

"My words are never false."

Jie Shi sneaked a look at Dun's calm face all day long from the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart for the anger that this guy showed during the battle.

No more than four people knew about Jieshi's power, including the team members. In fact, the selection of this hostage team caused a lot of boos and opposition when Jieshi was promoted as the captain, and more than half of them were against Duncan. Supporters with strong admiration.

But Dun didn't think so at all. On the contrary, Dun had expectations for Jieshi.

Jieshi himself is naturally aware of Dun's expectations as a friend, but his character hates trouble, and the degree of loathing exceeds the degree of being ridiculed or despised—until the battle just now, Jieshi's angry attitude towards Dun was the same Behavior only felt numb and helpless.

Remember when we first met, I was probably scared to death, right?

"Well, Don, I know you expect that from me, but there's really no need to be mad about it, right?"

"I'm not angry."

"No, you look angry."

"I'm not angry."

Again, there was no slight change in the muscles on the face, as if he thought from the bottom of his heart that Jie Shi's words were a mistake.

"Oh, I see, why don't we keep an agreement, so you don't expect too much anymore."

"Your promises are too numerous to count."

The two have been in a relationship since they were young, so it is normal for Jieshi to have many agreements, and he simply thinks that Dun is too fussy.

"Anyway, you know the content, right? Besides, if there are so many promises, it doesn't matter if there is one more."

He thought for a while before speaking.

"content?"

The tone of the rhetorical question made Jieshi chuckle inwardly, because he knew that Dun planned to keep this agreement.

"One day in the future, I will definitely declare my full strength to everyone, so you can't complain, you can't persuade, you can't get angry."

"What do you mean?"

"When I think about it, what about the people I know?"

"no."

Unexpectedly vetoing it, and rejecting it decisively, Jie Shi wondered which link was wrong.

"why not?"

"What you need is for the whole world to know."

As a result, what Dun expected was completely beyond Jie Shi's expectation.

"Hey, isn't your request too outrageous?"

"Want to be reminded by me all the time?"

"Okay, let's make this agreement."

"very good."

"Hey, it's clearly an agreement I proposed, so why did I end up being more unwilling?"

"Won't."

Dun, who was heading towards the capital of the magic country, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth in the mist.

Agreement, for Jieshi, an agreement with others is a kind of verbal promise, and it is a strange transaction that requires more efforts in the future to achieve the goal.

It is also a virtual promise that can be regarded as non-existent just by talking about it, and it is the best tool Jieshi uses to perfunctory and escape.

Having grown up together and getting to know each other's personalities, Dun agreed to make more promises with Jieshi, and it remains so until now.

No one knows the detailed reason for the doubtful point of agreeing, and there is only one possibility that Dunhui and Jieshi will agree.

A possibility that everyone will laugh at and look down upon.

It was Jie who showed that he would fulfill the agreement in the future.
