Chapter 100 - chapter 8

After listening to the explanation, the rogues was the first to raise his hand and shouted: "Me, me! I want to ask where Sister Shen Jing is now?"

"I have just answered your question. So I'm sorry, I can't say anything more to you."

This answer made the rogues stupid for a while, and he innocently turned his head to look at the other two people. shu responded with a helpless expression and movement, and said in a very small voice: "I didn't have time to stop you."

"Wait...wait a minute! What I just said to you is also a problem!"

"Basically, I can only answer one question. But for your current question, I can give you a positive answer. Yes." The tower master answered with no emotion at all.

"I...I..." The excited rogues was about to rush forward and use violence to solve the problem. But he was firmly grasped by shu from behind. "What do you want to do! This is a holy land for non-war!"

"I...I..." Magenta was so anxious that she shed a few tears and looked at the man who blocked her. His fists were dancing in the air, as if he was going to beat up the indifferent old man.

"Don't be stupid! The reason why this is a non-war holy land is because they have absolute territory and absolute strength. This holy land, which has existed in the cracks of time since the beginning of time, can throw you into the explosion of creation at any time. . How sure are you of surviving that storm? And how sure are you of asking what you want to know? Especially since they are immortals, and only the end of the world threatens them. Life and pain are inseparable. It is meaningless to them; their appearance merely reflects what you imagine in your mind."

"Then...what should we do..." Magenta accepted the facts dejectedly. If shu's words are true, then this is not a place where he can be arrogant.

"Just ask someone to help you." shu's concise answer undoubtedly gave the rogues a chance to survive. He first cast his shining pleading eyes on shu. The man with goosebumps all over his body pointed back and said, "Don't look for me. I came here to ask about things a long time ago. If you want anything, just ask the beautiful and charming mage."

The mage who was suddenly praised was not happy at all, because the other party had obvious intentions. Seeing shu's nonchalant expression, Misaka was a little angry, and even wanted to refuse directly; but when he saw Magenta's anxious eyes, his whole heart softened. He scratched his head and sighed. "Okay, okay! I will remember to get this debt back."

With the Master's approval, Magenta happily threw herself on Mesago and rubbed it. Mesago knocked and pushed him, and threatened him loudly, before he pulled the rogues away. He straightened his rumpled robe and cleared his throat. "I want to know where Deep View currently lives."

The tower master nodded in response and slowly raised his right hand, but Mesagar anxiously stopped him. "Wait a minute!" The tower owner showed a puzzled look, and Mesago pointed at the rogues and said, "The scene I'm looking for is the one related to him."

"As you wish." The bookcases in the entire space were moving like a moving wind, but they were also like four people and the door moving quickly through the space. When the change came to an end, the four of them stood in front of a bookcase marked "Year and Moon of the Year of Flames and Snakes". This should be considered the latest cabinet in terms of time series, and we can infer from the fact that the space is not yet full.

He took down one of the heavy books and opened the pages. Magenta craned her neck, planning to get more information. But the ghost-painted talisman like a spell gave up his mind. Turning to look at shu and Mesago, they both shook their heads to show that they didn't understand the words they were using.

"Hepinhong was once a childhood sweetheart, but now she lives in the small town of Felanshen in the north of the mainland."

The three people who got the next destination confirmed each other with their eyes, and it was time to hit the road again.

"Due to the rule of not leaving the work station without permission, I can only send the three of them to the exit of Cold Spring Forest. Then I must reorganize the hydrology of the Langsang River that has been out of order." Yinglong, who had transformed into a human form again, stood in the trial forest. At the entrance, bid farewell to the three people who were about to leave.

Her sleepy look, flowing long hair, and those jade-like fingers, all of these will make every man who sees her have the idea of ​​protecting such a fragile beauty. But then she remembered the previous battle, the blue dragon was like a bug in front of her. This contrast made it difficult for the group of people to adapt.

He smiled brightly at shu. "Maybe one day you come back here and I can stay with you for a few nights."

shu, who was caught doing something wrong, looked at Yinglong in surprise and stuttered when he spoke. "How... do you know... do you have the ability to read minds?" The strange thoughts that I had before seemed to be exposed in the sun, which was very embarrassing. Although Mesago behind him had a puzzled look on his face, his ready-to-move fists also made shu quite worried.

"Why do you need to read minds for this kind of thing? I am a dragon god after all, and I have lived for tens of thousands of years, so observing words and emotions is not a problem for me." Ying Long, who transformed into a beautiful woman, half-covered his mouth and smiled softly. . It was like a blooming flower, deeply attracting shu. It seems that his expression betrayed him, shu Ru judged.

On the contrary, the rogues looked like he was inexperienced in the world and asked others stupidly. "What's going on?"

"It's an adult matter." Long Meiren responded gently. At the same time, he quickly held Magenta's cheek and gave her a tender and deep kiss. The psychedelic smell of orchid breath completely stunned the rogues. After all, a healthy dragon is different from a weak dragon. Not only does it look different, it even smells different. ...Wow~ Now is not the time to think about this at all! When she realized that what she was just talking about was the trivial matter of love between men and women, Magenta excitedly jumped to shu's side. "Just now... just now..."

What was originally a half-covered chuckle turned into a hearty laugh. No matter what kind of smile she was wearing, nothing could stop her fatal attraction. Even Mesago, who was also a woman, was unconsciously attracted to her. When the smile turned into a shallow smile, the dragon beauty turned around, and the colorful light transformed her body back into the dragon shape again.

When Yinglong's posture returned to the eyes of the three people, it just turned around and nodded lightly to express its gratitude for liberating itself. shu asked loudly as the clouds gathered around it. "I don't know your name yet, Lord River God."

"Call me my human name, Ah Guo." Ying Long, who rose up in the clouds, left the last two words that echoed in the ears of the three of them.

Everyone living on the mainland knows that "Aguo" is the name of the first bright moon in the sky, and it is also the name of a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city in ancient times. Let a king who only loves beauty but not the country lose a beautiful woman with a promising future. Some people judge her as a disaster, but those who have carefully studied that period of history have never denied that it was indeed a tragic love story.

Heading towards the west, we finally returned to the populated area. The substantive leader──shu raised a very important question at this time. "We're out of money."

"Huh?" "Huh?"

A group of three people were sitting in the tavern, surrounding the table. There were several empty plates and half-full glasses before him. After temporarily resolving the immediate hunger, we began to discuss important people's livelihood issues.

"Most of the money was used to buy supplies before entering the trial forest. Although we relied on the help of the Langsang River God, we spent a lot of time. But the battle with the blue dragon was a big hemorrhage and could be broken. Everything is broken, and everything that can be thrown away is gone."

Seeing the confused expressions on the other two people's faces, Magenta stepped forward with unusual determination. "Don't we have to be frugal with what we have, so we can't reach our destination?"

"Okay, if you eat one meal a day and beg along the road, you should be able to get there."

Regarding shu's judgment, both Magenta and Mesago were silent. In fact, everyone knows the current predicament, but the facts are cruelly explained through shu's mouth. However, a veteran adventurer who always looks optimistic on the outside will not be defeated by this small problem. He immediately proposed a time-saving and simple plan. "If you are on the road in a hurry, then you can check if there are any wealthy people on the way, and sneak in at night to steal some things to sell. And if it is unfortunate that it is daytime and you don't want to wait until night, then you can steal something To rob him, give him a hard blow."

"Isn't this good..." Magenta lowered her head and thought seriously. "...Who...do it."

The proposing man pointed at himself. "Warrior." Pointing to the female companion. "Mage." Finally he pointed at the person who asked the question. "rogues." He slammed the table and put his face close to Magenta. "Don't you think the answer is obvious?"

After understanding the meaning of shu's words, Magenta shook her head desperately. He might make a great rogues, but doing anything unjust would cost him his life. Perhaps choosing an appropriate target would alleviate his guilt a little, but he'd rather never entertain the thought.

"Then let's spend some time here and find a few jobs to make some money. You have no objection."

The helpless rogues seems to have only one choice between losing his dignity, betraying his conscience and wasting time. Facing shu's last question, he could only nod in compromise. shuzi stood up and left his seat with satisfaction, walked around the bar and chatted here and there.

When he returned to his seat, shu immediately gave instructions: "It's two very simple tasks. If you do them separately, you can save some time. Magenta, you and Mesago escort a businessman to a nearby town to earn some money." The cost of divorce..."

As soon as she heard that she was going to be with a mage with a completely different personality, Magenta immediately interrupted shu. "But...can I go with you? I have another job."

The confidence of the mage beside him was suddenly damaged. Holding her chest and glaring at the person next to her, she didn't even dislike this brat. Why did this guy say such things? But shu didn't react much, he just continued to finish his words. "Okay, what I want to do is to deal with a monster wandering nearby. It has been harassing this town for a long time, and many livestock have been eaten by it. I heard that its slap is as big as a human head. , with one swing of the palm, it is enough to knock a human head away; the arms are as thick as my waist, and can lift a cow at a time; the mouth is like a basin, just enough to swallow a person..."

The warrior who assigned the work was still immersed in his description, and the timid rogues had already approached the mage's position with a scream. The unhappy mage was trying to push the rogues's head away from her arms.

The warrior, whose body was covered in blood, held the hair from the head of the monster in his mouth, and leaned out of the bushes to look left and right. Fortunately, no one else followed, otherwise I really don't know how to win this battle. In a crazy state, I can't control the target of my attack. This is probably the disadvantage of using that sword. I wonder when I will be able to freely control this super powerful weapon that ranks as an artifact?

"Bloody mercenary Yalang?"

"Ah! Yes!" He responded subconsciously, and the head of the monster in his mouth rolled to the ground. shu looked around for a while, but there was no one there. "It's strange that you have auditory hallucinations at such a young age? Oh, this is bad."

He bent down to pick up the precious head that could be rewarded. Suddenly, a cold and murderous peak swarmed over him, and a warning sound sounded from the weapon on his back. The moment he raised his head and glanced at the figure standing in front of him, shu just sneered and didn't intend to move. The attacking sword froze in front of the tip of his nose as expected.

The beautiful knight holding the sword covered her beauty with a simple steel helmet, only revealing her two beautiful cherry lips and thin chin. There was also the delicate jade neck. At this moment, shu understood why vampires always choose this part of a beautiful woman to attack. But from the slits in the helmet, one could see a pair of dark blue eyes staring at him like fire.

"You are indeed the infamous bloody mercenary Yalang!"

"That was the name I used when I first debuted. Now I have restrained myself a bit. But you were able to find out those old news, which quite surprised me."

Looking at the bull pattern carved on the opponent's armor, shu had a contemptuous attitude toward this group that was determined to restore the old knightly ethics. However, judging from the intelligence ability of their opponents to find out their old identities, they still have considerable influence and strength. "This beautiful Lord Knight, it's really admirable that you were able to find out those old information. But is pointing a sword at an unarmed person something allowed in the code of chivalry?"

Realizing the transgression she had done, the female knight glared at shu and put the sword back into its sheath. "It seems that the target has been defeated by you. And today is not a good time. Let me let you go for now."

"Timing?" Sensing the other person's eyes scanning the blood stains on his body, shu smiled heartily. "Don't worry! This is not my blood. If you want to challenge me at any point in time, you are welcome."

"Hmph! When you are at your best, it will not be too late to die." The female knight put down her cruel words and turned around to leave. shu gave him a look of contempt behind her. "Oh, are you admitting defeat and running away? Woman."

After receiving the contempt in the other party's words, especially the deliberate mention of her gender, the female knight stood still. The anger can be clearly felt from her back. But shu didn't care at all, especially because another weak consciousness in his mind kept driving him to make advancing movements. "Or you don't like me telling the truth too directly, and you want me to treat you the same way I treat a man. Then, maybe I should use the word coward. What do you think? What a beautiful and delicate knight. "

The anger that rushed to the top of his head was suppressed by another consciousness, and a warning message flashed through his mind. The female knight immediately drew out the holy sword Gnarok from her waist, took a big step forward, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and turned around to strike.

The two weapons struck each other in the air, sparks erupting. After narrowly blocking the opponent's attack, the female knight was shocked again. The previous time, she was surprised by her opponent's strategic application; this time, while her opponent's despicable sneak attacks aroused her dissatisfaction, the weapon in his hand could actually compete with the magic weapon in her hand.

The clash of weapons caused temporary paralysis of the hand. The female knight jumped back and looked at the man in front of her cautiously. All the actions of his opponent were completely incomprehensible to him who had received formal combat training and traditional chivalry doctrine, especially his self-proclaimed bold and unruly face, which became more and more ugly the more he looked at it. The message of fighting kept ringing in his mind, as if defeating this man was his life's mission. And this is one of the reasons that drives me to find him.

"What's wrong? Do you have any dissatisfaction? Vent it in the battle! You should also be eager for this battle. But don't show mercy, because that will only lead to death."

As each word was read out, shu slowly changed the position of its feet. When the female knight realized that she had succumbed to the disadvantage of the terrain, she could only regret that she should not pay too much attention to the content of the other party's words. Although he was out of the woods, the terrain behind him was rugged in three directions, and he was facing the sun. Although it is almost dusk and the light will not be very dazzling, what effect will it have when used by the opponent?

coming!

As if he had spotted the gap in his heart, when his will was weakest, the warriors who had angered him repeatedly rushed forward in front of him. The female knight involuntarily took a step back, and the two clashed again! Every time there was a clash of steel, both of them felt a shock to their consciousness. It's like the vibration of the weapon in your hand will impact the depths of your soul.

The whispering voice in the ear continued to encourage the mood of fighting, and there was offense and defense between the two. After fighting each other to no avail for a while, they each took a step back to catch their breath, while also thinking about the next attack mode and strategy.

"What weapon is in your hand?" The female knight adjusted her breathing while also looking at the old and scarred broad-blade sword in her opponent's hand.

Regarding the female knight's doubts, shu did not answer and asked instead: "What you are holding is the famous holy sword Gnarok in the mainland."

The female knight loosened her hands slightly and grasped the holy sword again. The female knight nodded slightly. I saw shu standing across the sword, showing an expression of intoxication and enthusiasm. "Gnarok means the Twilight of the Gods in the ancient language of the gods. Why is a weapon that metaphors the end of the gods with sacred attributes? Have you never doubted this?"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, my consciousness clearly warned me not to continue listening, and my other weak consciousness kept driving me forward to attack. But his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, anticipating everything the other party was about to say.

"To purify an attribute, the best way is to concentrate the opposite attributes in other forms and extreme them without limit. The pure and flawless holy sword Gnarok is made of meteorite and was made by the evil god Loki himself, but That's just a by-product of having this weapon in my hand."

Taking a breath, the female knight understood the meaning of these words. If it is true as he said, the power contained in the old and tattered broad-blade sword in front of him cannot be underestimated. It is at least the same level as the holy sword in his hand, or even stronger. I also understood why I had always been obsessed with this man from the first time I met him. It's not that there's anything about him that attracts him, but it's the weapons in their hands. The divine weapons were born from the same source, but they are polar opposites. This is simply the word "rival" that can best describe their relationship.

Seeing the green face of the female knight in front of him, shu sneered, but there was another thing on his mind. In the past, when using this broad-edged sword, the consciousness would always be controlled and become violent. But when he faced this old enemy forged by weapons twice, he didn't suffer any mental disorder. It was just the desire to fight that kept coming from his mind. Is it because the attributes restrain each other?

But such doubts only flashed through shu's mind. The Paladins who have held the holy sword Gnarok throughout the ages are simply synonymous with "rationality"; and the beastly instinct relative to rationality is the ability of the broad-edged sword in their hands to affect the holder.

An endless stream of power spreads to every muscle in the body, and the thinking ability is gradually occupied by the idea of how to kill the opponent. The surrounding environment clearly emerged in his mind, and the available strategies and tactics passed by like a revolving lantern. shu slowly raised the sword high, just enough to block the sunlight that shone into the eyes of the female knight.

"The Evil Holy Sword──Really? Gnarok! And I have successfully changed my profession to become the official owner of this artifact, the Evil Swordsman. Or if you don't want to belittle the Holy Sword in your hand, then I don't mind you. Another name for it, Fen·li·er·zhi·fan."

All these statements impacted the female knight's mind. At this time, shu Geng slightly turned over the blade of the Evil Holy Sword. The seemingly worn-out iron tool still managed to shine weak sunlight into the slits of the helmet.

After a moment's dodge, shu had already charged forward with a violent wave-like attack. Having lost her opportunity and confidence, the female knight could only endure the violent chops, her disadvantage increasing as she retreated step by step.

The opponent is undoubtedly the strongest one he has ever faced. Not sticking to attack rules, using your hands, feet, and body flexibly, it's like facing a ferocious lion. Losing is just a matter of time.

Taking advantage of the opponent's time to recover, the female knight hurriedly responded with a frontal thrust, trying to gain some advantage. However, shu hit the sword with the back of his fist. The holy sword swung aside and the middle door opened wide.

The slashing attack from the open position gathered considerable power. The female knight slipped her feet and jumped back, narrowly avoiding the fatal attack, but was unable to block the shoulder collision that followed. Losing his balance, he fell heavily to the ground, and the holy sword flew away from his hand.

When everything returns to calm, really? Gnarok pressed tightly against the exposed slender neck of the female knight, and the blood stains were faintly visible. The winner doesn't have to do anything more, just one delay to take away his life. "I failed, kill me!"

"I will, but tell me your name first."

The female knight looked puzzled at shu's request. But he saw the twisted smile of the man in front of him. "The long-lost bloody mercenary Yalang killed the Paladin. What an interesting rumor. I can't wait to see the faces of the leaders of the Blue Shield Knights. Don't worry, I will send your relics back into their hands. But I can't guarantee whether the sword will still be usable by then."

What a vicious thought! The female knight's eyes were bloodshot, as if she was about to breathe fire. Gritting his teeth, he said angrily: "Deep scene? A? Senna, remember this name that will curse you in hell!" After that, he spat on shu's face.

"Shen... Jing..." shu slowly moved the Evil Holy Sword away with an expression of disbelief. Is this a joke? The news from the Tower of Time is not like this at all. I once asked Magenta about Shen Jing's appearance during the trip, and now I recalled that they were quite similar. Alas~shu smiled bitterly and shook his head. The consciousness disturbed by the Evil Holy Sword was completely cleared from his mind.

Watching the man who defeated him wipe his face and step away, packing his things. Shen Jing sat up and yelled in displeasure: "Do you want to humiliate me? Why don't you just kill me!"

Will it be true? Gnarok picked up the head of the monster and wrapped it in yellow cloth. "Exchange your life for a request. You just need to accompany me to meet someone."

Shen Jing was surprised by shu's request, and thoughts of caution came to mind. He carefully picked up his fallen holy sword Gnarok and stared at the back of shu.

"After meeting that person, you can leave or do whatever you want. Even if you want to challenge me again, I welcome it."

A lot of questions filled his mind, Shen Jing gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind, determined to find out what shu was planning to do. "Clang!" With a sound, the holy sword returned to its sheath. This made Shen Jing miss the whisper of shu. "But even if you want to challenge him again, I will stay far away. I am not allowed to be his enemy."
