When it was learned that the seventh samurai princess was a countess, already a woman and mother, the two who were originally sober and the one who had just woken up were both in a semi mystical state. Although they can still move and walk, they probably can't say what they have done.
When consciousness returned to them, they were already in a practice field. About fifty or sixty knights lay flat in the center of the field, with over twenty remaining in a standoff against Jess. No! It should be said that he was being played with by Jess. The person who can maintain clarity until the end is not the strongest, but the luckiest, because Jess only picked him in the end.
When the field was filled with knights and only Jess stood alone, Jess would usually search for those guys who pretended to be dead. Because he once said, "If you want to pretend to be dead, just pretend to be like me. Your appearance is as ridiculous as pretending to be asleep with your eyes closed. Breathe faster! Heartbeat faster! Be more nervous! I'll see how you died." Then he picked up a unlucky guy who didn't pretend to be very similar and kicked heavily, pretending to be dizzy and turned into a real dizzy on the spot.
However, it is said that their pretending to be dead skills are getting better and better, and Jess cannot detect them even if he doesn't look carefully. So Jess simply gave up and when no one was standing, he would casually find someone to step on the heavy foot. Regardless of whether the other person is truly fainting or pretending to faint, under Jess's foot, the other person will feel so painful that they bounce back and then pass out.
Some people can't stand it anymore. Why do they stand up and resist every time they pretend to be unconscious and get trampled on. Jess first gave a approving smile and appreciation, followed by a fierce beating. The lesson of the howling sound penetrated deeply into the ears of the people lying on the ground.
The only thing that can be said to be fortunate is encountering such torture every other day. The 160 member Platinum Jaguar Knights are divided into two classes, with one class playing with Jess every day and the other practicing and taking on defensive duties on their own.
In their free time, they actively exercise themselves, just hoping not to feel so painful when beaten, and not to be detected too quickly when pretending to faint. As for 'overthrowing that man', no one has considered that impossible dream to come true.
However, there were not many mournful cries or the foul language spoken by Jess when he trampled on the fallen person today. The center of the field was completely silent, and the only one who was certain to be awake was the man. Jess looked at Mei carefully, his expression changed two or three times, and everyone knew that something was not going well, while the cold sweat of the parties involved had already emerged and waited.
"Mei, come on! I'll try your weight." Jess waved to Mei. The meaning represented by a smile is that whether Mei is successful or not, it is a dead end. However, if the turtle shrinks below, the outcome will only be worse, not better.
Mei set aside the burden on her body and walked cautiously towards her. Jess just shook his hand and said, "Bring the weapon with you, it depends on whether you have the ability to use Sword of Stone II."
"Hey! You guys! If you're awake, just roll over to the side, or else you'll sweep to the end of the typhoon without crying." Jess didn't finish speaking yet, and lying on the field made it difficult to distinguish whether they were unconscious or awake. Everyone stood up and hid at the outermost edge as soon as possible. After a while, there was no one else in the center of the field except Jess and Mei, who held the Sword of the Stone II.
Seeing this situation, Yan Ni, who was sitting on the side drinking tea and also observing the battle for the first time, complained, "Alas~With your manipulation, they have all become masters of pretending to be dead."
Jess smiled and said, "At least you know how to pretend." Yanni shook her head silently.
Mei, holding the sword and holding it tightly, looked at Jess and said, "Jess, pick up your weapon in your hand! It's not that you underestimate your abilities, but that I'm not used to using the Stone Sword II yet, afraid of accidentally injuring you or myself."
After listening to Mei's words, Jess squinted his eyes and looked at the little ghost in front of him. "Hold the weapon in your hand!"
Seeing Jess's gaze and expression, Mei suddenly thought she had said the wrong thing. At the next moment, Jess shrugged and said, "Alright, hold the weapon in your hand."
After speaking, Jess took off his clothes and trembled. Various darts, knives, and arrows fell out of his clothes, and he muttered to himself, "Take a weapon in your hand, then you won't hide it. Sigh~It's a bit regrettable."
Song looked at the various hidden weapons that Jess had thrown on the ground and said, "Oh my goodness! How on earth did you hide them?"
Jess chuckled and replied, "I have a four-dimensional space pocket on my body." As he put on his clothes, he lowered his head and flicked his hair, clearing out many small toys such as steel needles and iron beads.
"Dang!" With a sound, no one noticed what was happening. I saw Mei standing the Sword of the Stone II horizontally in front of me, with a flying knife inserted into the ceiling directly above Mei.
"Oh my! This move has been blocked." Jess's outstretched hand had not yet been retracted, with a hint of disappointment on his expression.
"Jack taught well!" Mei hid behind the sword with a bitter smile on her face.
"Really?" As he finished speaking, Jess appeared behind May. Holding a small knife in each hand, they were about to greet Mei's neck.
A short stature, narrowly avoiding this. Step forward with your arrow, then turn around and shift your weight to the foot you stepped on, then strike back with your sword. The person who was supposed to be on the attack line disappeared, and there was a roaring hot wind and cold laughter in their ears.
"Damn it!"
The feet supporting the weight lifted off the ground, and the sight from the ceiling definitely represented a bad thing. The face that suddenly appeared in front of me still had a smile, but the movements were merciless. The small knife that was supposed to be inserted into the shoulders turned upside down and turned into a hilt attack, causing the entire person to be pressed to the ground. Sword II in the stone in his hand made a clanging sound as if he was lamenting his own uselessness, making contact with the ground.
The knights sitting on the outskirts finally had the privilege of witnessing their brutal abuse over the past few decades, and Yan Ni, holding a tea cup, frowned as she watched every move happening in the center of the field. She wouldn't be present during normal times, but today she only appeared on the practice field with guests, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
Jess kindly gave May time to stand up, but usually the next moment she would fall to the ground again, and the time she spent lying on the ground howling was much longer than standing. In an instant, Jess stopped spinning his foot on Mei's stomach, and Yanni also stopped her tea drinking movement. Looking out the window, both people felt a familiar aura, but the feeling it brought was so uncomfortable.
"Madam, Madam!" shouted a knight as he knocked open the door.
"What's going on?" Yan Ni took a leisurely sip of tea and asked.
"There... a red lizard man has arrived in the city."
"Red... Lizard Man?" Yan Ni looked at Jess, her doubts spreading between the two.
Yanni stood up and said, "Please ask them, including the accompanying people, to come into the Count's Mansion."
The knight, feeling strange and probing, asked, "Madam..."
"Not yet!" said the rare and tough tone from the usually gentle countess. When the knight didn't know what to do, he saw Jess's impatient gaze and ran out in a panic.
"What happened?" Jess looked at the floating clouds outside the window and whispered, while Mei under his feet was enjoying this rare breathing time.
In the corridor, five Jaguar knights serving as guards led the way, with Yanni and Jess walking in front and behind, followed by Mei, Sakura, and Matsu.
As I passed by the side hall where I usually drink afternoon tea, the door of the side hall opened.
"What happened? Who is the Fire Lizard Man who came?" The person asking was Count Chuli.
Behind him, Qiqi and Tiriya were dressed in their own armor as usual, but their expressions today were vastly different. A sense of nervousness and vigilance emanated from them.
Eleanor and Mary sitting at the table were playing with Hanniel.
Wearing a gorgeous dress, Luo Shen concealed his wings, even covering the corners with a pink lady hat. Sitting alone in the corner of the table, drinking my own tea.
And Alice sat quietly in her position, with an expression on her face that showed no abnormalities, but gave a feeling that was somewhat indescribable.
Yan Ni's gaze flickered in the hall. "It must be my friend who came," he said and continued walking towards the hall. The others also followed and walked towards the hall.
Two Jaguar riders opened the door, and through it came a dazzling sunlight and five figures. The two leading Jaguar riders returned to the queue on the side of the hall. Next are two short and small figures and a normal proportion figure.
"Yanni... there's something I want to ask..." The man who walked in lowered his head and didn't confirm if anyone was there before speaking. But that voice didn't sound as energetic as his past, as if something important was missing from his life, so depressed, so powerless
Two red bodied lizard people rudely revealed their faces from their cloaks. The two lizards slowly walked to the center of the hall, while the others also arrived at the center. Jess and Yanni both had complex expressions in their eyes and remained silent. On the contrary, Count Chuli spoke first and said, "These are..."
"Sally, Kuta, Yema, my old friends." Yan Ni briefly introduced herself and before anyone else had a chance to ask, she continued to ask the person who walked in, "Sally, what happened?"
At this moment, Song interjected, "Ah! That... Kuta Elder!"
Sakura knocked Song's head aside. "Shut up! Are you seeking death?"
"I just want to tell the elder that the group who captured the dwarves is from some Ghost Gun and Rotten Knife Knights in Paulus City. It's not a serious matter!" Song touched the area where Sakura had knocked and protested.
When she heard Song's words, Sally, Kuta, and Yema's eyes lit up, and their momentum changed in an instant. A oppressive and oppressive feeling disappeared from the hall. Their eyes seemed to have clear goals, giving the impression of determination and consciousness.
"I have no problem," Sally turned around and walked towards the outside.
Jess looked at Sally's back, just rested his hands behind his head, whistled, and followed her without saying anything.
When Yanni took a step forward, Sally stopped. "Yanni, you stay well."
"Why!"
"You have too much burden now."
"I..." Before Yanni could finish speaking, Sally somehow snatched a long spear from the heavily armed Jaguar knights on the side and stabbed Yanni. The long gun parked in the ear did not harm the face, but several red threads appeared on the tip of the gun.
Yanni looked at Sally with an incredulous expression, and there were only a few strands of hair hanging by her ear. The man in front of him was holding a weapon towards him, but the look in his eyes was not killing intent, but a kind of tenderness, a tenderness full of sadness.
The spear slowly hung down, and the person slowly turned around. As her face turned towards the door again, Sally's voice came over: "Yanni, you've become worse, you're not qualified to keep up."
A cold voice, no one knows what the man speaking is thinking in his heart. Perhaps he turned around and spoke to hide his expression that he couldn't hide from others. Jess still looked at everything that had just happened with a relaxed face. Most of the people present were unclear about what was going on, and even Song, who triggered this series of situations, was full of question marks.
Sally rested the gun on her shoulder. "If you really want to help, then I'll take a gun as a gesture of goodwill and take it away." After speaking, he slowly walked out. Although his pace was slow now, it had a different meaning than when he first entered the door. Every step he took now was to store strength. Every movement from landing on the heel to lifting off the toe was clearly engraved in everyone's eyes, and the atmosphere surrounding him was no longer uncomfortable, but replaced by a wonderful feeling.
Kuta and Yema didn't say much, just quietly following behind Sally. Jess also averted his gaze from Yanni's face and turned to follow, but he felt a resistance' Who is holding onto my clothes
Turning around, she saw a little girl holding onto her' Alice
Perhaps the three words' little girl 'no longer apply to Alice, but Jess doesn't care so much. What he's curious about is why Alice would grab onto him. A puzzled gaze spread, indicating that this was enough for Alice. She always knew how to respond to all of Jess's movements. "I'm going too."
"No way!"
"Why!"
Jess looked at the little girl who rarely showed such strong emotions and just smiled before saying, "Can you kill someone?"
Alice took a step back in fear at such a question.
Seeing Alice automatically let go, Jess still smiled. "Then you won't be able to help."
But before Jess turned around, she grabbed Jess's hand. "Even if I can't do it, Qiqi can do it."
Jess looked up at the swordsman with light blue short hair and shook his head with a smile, saying, "No way, Alice. Can she be like she used to be influenced by you now? You should know this better than me."
The emerald green eyes tilted to one side to avoid Jess's gaze, and the complex expression on his face said too much, so much that it was hard to know which one truly meant something strange.
Jess continued with a smile, "A warrior holding a living sword cannot wield the Sword of Revenge because it is too heavy. You will understand, Alice." After saying that, Jess shook his head and smiled as he turned around.
Alice bypassed Jess and stood in front of him, her open hands indicating her intention not to let him leave. "Why are you going to kill someone? Can you give Alice a reason, Brother Jess?"
Jess restrained his smile and looked at the girl standing in front of him. "Reason? There's no need for something like that."
"Why!"
"If I need a reason to do something, then I'm not like me. If I need a reason to help my friends, then I'm not qualified to be me. Who do you think I am? I'm Jess! If you need a reason, I'll give you one. Because they angered Sally."
Jess approached Alice with open hands and lowered his head in her ear, saying, "Remember one thing from now on, never get in front of me, unless you want to be the first victim." After speaking, Jess regained his smile, lightly tapped Alice's little brain, and then walked towards the door.
"Jess."
"What's up! Mei. I'm male and there's no special treatment. Do you also want to stop me?"
Mei hurriedly shook her hands. "No! I wanted to ask you, how does the Paulus Black Lancer Knights compare to the Black Sheep of the past?"
Jess frowned. "Don't compare feces with gold, okay? That bunch of miscellaneous food is just enough to fill the teeth of carnivorous sheep. Do you think Black Sheep is really easy to beat? If it weren't for Jack stubbornly refusing to leave, I would have left long ago. Don't you know what 'killing until the hands are soft' means? It's not a good taste!"
Mei held the hilt of the Shizhong Sword II on her waist with her right hand, revealing a resolute expression. "Then count me one more! If the Black Lance is weaker than the Black Sheep, then I am not qualified to die in such a battle."
Jess cast a skeptical gaze. Mei seemed to respond, touching her chin while staring at the hilt and continuing, "I have many reasons not to lose."
"Then stop talking. I'm not interested in listening to men say a lot of things that have nothing to do with me and are not fun."
Just as Jess was about to turn his head, someone spoke again. "I'm going too."
Jess cursed, "Who is this time again!" The talking Luo God was frightened and took a step back.
"I... I just want to take advantage of your weakness and force you to become a slave. Otherwise, my graduation thesis will be ruined and no one will ask you to make a contract with me."
Jess let out a sigh. "Sigh, it's up to you, if you really have that chance," Jess just said as he looked at Sally's distant figure. "Follow up quickly, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the grand event." Mei and Luo nodded, and the two followed.
Everyone in the back doesn't know how to deal with this situation.
Sakura and Matsudaira, their eyes met for a moment, and they quickly ran out. "Hey! Boss!" "Wait for us!"
Two lizards and six people walked on the commercial road with different moods. Occasionally, merchants and travelers along the way have a slight interest in such groups, or rather, they are all interested in the attire of the Luo God.
Jess still maintains the attitude of an outing, looking at the various scenery on the road.
And Sally, Kuta, and Yema still maintained their original expressions. Rather than saying they don't care, it's better to say they know it's more necessary to focus on the upcoming battle now.
Mei just touched her chin while following behind Jess. On the contrary, Luo Shen felt a bit uneasy because not only passersby were staring at her, but even Sakura and Matsu were staring at such a dressed beauty.
When Sakura noticed the slightly rising anger of the Luo God, she quickly shifted the focus of the crowd and said, "Mei, do you remember the kick from Ye?" She stopped touching her chin, but Mei didn't answer.
"So you're the one who can't afford to lose the most," he said, whistling as if nothing had happened.
Mei seemed to want to refute, but Jess spoke up. "Don't say anything I don't understand. Look, the city of Paulus has arrived."
What appeared before everyone was a tall city wall. A black flag was fluttering on the wall, with a shield shaped silhouette. On the left was a long spear and a curved sword, while on the right was a flamethrower. The blue and gold lines sewn together created a pattern that could not be considered unsightly, but rather tasteless.
The open door was guarded by five fully armed black armored knights. Beside him was a fat looking tax collector who collected entry fees from the caravan and the people who were about to enter the city.
Sally and others arrived at the city gate.
"The cost of entering the city is two silver coins for adults and one silver coin for children. You... a total of fourteen silver coins." The tax collector with a large money bag hanging on his waist reached out his greasy hand to demand the cost of entering the city from everyone.
"Ah! Oh no, I didn't bring any money out," Jess said as he touched his pocket and turned to look at Mei. "Mei, do you have any money on you?"
Mei waved her hand in front of her face. "Not that much! I only have a few dozen copper coins at most. At its peak, there were ten silver coins, but that was a long time ago when I had to help all the villagers buy things in other towns."
Jess turned to Sally in disappointment. "Sally, do you have it?"
Sally shook her head and said, "No."
"What! If you don't have money, then you still want to enter the city. Guard, drive them out." The tax collector crossed his hands, and his waist trembled with this action. He looked at the traveler with little money in front of him, thinking about how to take away their only possessions after the knight scolded them well later.
Jess looked at the five black swordsmen approaching step by step and said anxiously, "Hey! What should I do now?"
Sally's cold voice came, "You seem to forget what we're doing here."
Jess clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Yes! I've forgotten all about it."
The approaching knight rudely drew his sword and pointed it at Jess and others. "What are you here for, seeking death?"
Jess's smiling expression, paired with his swinging index finger. "No, we're here to find fault."
Before anyone else could fully comprehend the meaning of these words, Jess suddenly pressed the knight's head against the wall. The helmet was flattened against the wall like paper, and blood and brain plasma burst out.
The black body, which had lost its head, also lost its life and slowly slid off the wall to the ground. And Jess just licked the mixture of red and milky white on his hand. "Pooh! It's really! The taste of people is still as bad, I can't understand why Monica and her friends like to bite people so much."
The other four knights also angrily reached out and drew their swords, but Sally's spear flashed and Meishi's Sword II flashed, leaving two damn knights missing.
The remaining two trembling hands were held on the hilt of the sword, making it impossible for them to make a judgment whether to run or fight. When the two shorter figures threw away their cloaks, the living also went to hell to accompany their companions.
The cane of Kuta was inserted into the head of a knight, and blood slowly dripped from one end of the cane.
And the knight caught by Yema, his black armor slowly turned red, followed by a burning smell and howling. When the sound stopped coming out, the body that had fallen to the ground had lost its armor appearance, and the guy who had been melted into a mess was probably the most sympathetic among the five.
The tax collector on the side just sat on the ground, watching this group of evil spirits from somewhere unknown.
