Chapter 14: The Roaring Lion
"Young man, I want you to know what you're doing. The host's voice was full of passion for a second, but it suddenly turned cold at this moment.
"I know very well, but do you know what you're doing?" Al's voice rang out word for word, "You're trampling on other people's lives!
The nobles in the VIP area were unimpressed, some laughed disdainfully, and some leaned forward as if watching a play, sipping on the precious whiskey. Perhaps it seemed to them that it was nothing more than a flea with its teeth and claws at the tiger, and that his life was not even as good as that of the two poor elves.
"Interesting. The girl with her hair in a bun on her head cut her long silver hair to her ears, and picked up the red wine glass on the table again. "Do you like to be alone in the dark so much? ”
With that, a young man in light gold armor walked out of the passage behind the girl, and a short spear of Ugin was leaning behind him, "Miss, what are your orders?" The young man came to the girl's side and stood still.
Like an open sword, it is steady and fierce, attracting the sideways eyes of many male waiters nearby. These waiters were all security guards in the arena who were responsible for protecting the VIP area, but they couldn't see through the young people in front of them. A few waiters even held short knives in their sleeves, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
"Brother Enzo, I'm very interested in this person, you can go down and try him in a while. A faint smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth, "Remember, don't hurt his life." ”
"Yes, miss. The face in the helmet didn't fluctuate much, and Enzo turned and walked into the dark passageway.
In the middle of the arena, several security personnel had already entered, and they surrounded El in the center, all armed with short knives and menacing. Apparently instructed by the host to catch the rude intruder.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Al said to the caged elf. "Little sister, my brother will take you out immediately. ”
Obviously, what happened to the elves was not humane, and their spirits were greatly stimulated, and the two hugged each other tightly, and looked at Al with doubts and fear in their eyes.
Al strode towards the cage, ignoring the security personnel who had slowly surrounded him. It may be that Al's action of tearing open the protective net just now was too alarming, and the security personnel did not rush up at this moment, but carefully gathered, waiting for eye contact like they had rounded up the beasts in the arena before, and then quickly attacked.
The audience also stared with bated breath, they had never experienced such an unexpected event, but this did not affect their interest in watching the show, and they all patiently waited for what happened next.
The sound of breaking the sky exploded in midair, and a dazzling black spear roared with a cold glow, nailing diagonally to the path of El, halting his steps.
"Who is it?" said Al, feeling uneasy.
A pale golden figure fluttered, delicate light armor reflecting a harsh glow in the sunlight, and a relief in the shape of a lion on his chest, a medieval knight's armor was the perfect combination of strength and beauty. The person who came had obviously experienced the trial of iron and blood, and the armor was strewn with several scar marks of different shades.
Enzo stood firmly in the air at the hilt of the spear, his eyes in his helmet looking down at Al like a hungry lion.
"Soldiers of the Empire?" Al met his gaze, "are you here to stop me?"
"Captain of the third echelon of the Eastern Defense Lions, Enzo. Enzo's voice was steady, "You have violated the laws of the Empire. ”
"What? He's from the Lion Legion? That's the Heavy Armor of the Empire. Anyway, aren't they supposed to defend themselves against the invasion of the Eton Empire in the east?, why are they here?" After hearing the words "Lion Legion", the audience chuckled.
The host frowned, obviously a little displeased, and he waved his hand at the overwhelmed security personnel, who immediately understood, put the short knife in their sleeves, and left the venue in turn.
A breeze blew, rolling up the crumbs of the fireworks on the ground, and the huge arena was now only the two facing each other and the elves huddled in the cage.
"Tell the Crusader patrol team that they don't use it, they can't take this stranger with them today. The host took off his top hat and said to one of the chamberlains beside him. The waiter quickly left after receiving the instructions, the host pouted and sat down on the calfskin sofa behind him, and another waiter immediately handed over a lit fine cigar, and the host spat out the smoke ring and sneered, "A good show." ”
"What kind of law, it's the first time I've heard of such righteous words about trafficking in other races!" Al knew that the visitor was not good, and there was no need to be polite to this person.
"The laws of the empire do not allow desecration. Enzo said.
"I'm a country man and I don't know much about the law. But I know what's right and what's wrong, and if the law is made by you bastards, then I'll be the first to not obey it!"
"You've wasted a chance just now. Enzo's voice remained unwavering, "Now I'll give you one more chance, apologize, and get out." ”
"I heard Uncle Paul talk about how friendly the people in Xinlan are, and I still yearn for it, and I naively thought it was a place where there was no discrimination. Al's eyes darkened, "Now it seems that it is only ordinary people who are friendly, and ordinary people are humble like ants in the eyes of you magnates, right? ”
"I am not uncommon in the opportunity for your charity. Al clenched his fists, "You continue to enforce your laws, and I" he patted his chest, "still hold fast to the justice in my heart!"
"Courage is commendable, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of brains. Enzo leapt down, and Ugin's boots landed on the ground, smashing a shallow hole. He raised his hand and drew the short spear from the ground, and threw it back, and the short spear flashed like a white light. In the blink of an eye, Zigan was submerged into the stone wall of the arena's arch, and only the hilt of the short spear shook and hummed rapidly.
"To reward your courage. ”
After Enzo finished speaking, he put on an offensive stance, his hands in a claw-like shape, one forward and one behind, his legs falling apart, and his body's center of gravity drooping. The vigorous posture is like a lion ready to attack, or the kind of male lion armed with steel armor, and the aura of majesty exudes around it.
"Less nonsense!" Al tore the sleeve of his robe, his arms exposed, one dark red and the other light copper, because he had been following Paul to strike iron all the year, Al also had a strong muscle.
Many people began to talk about this strange teenager when they saw him, after all, the large red birthmark on his left arm was too eye-catching, and many people even openly called Al a "freak" and "ugly monster", telling him to get out of Xinlan.
The disgusted faces were clearly knives, wantonly slicing through Al's most painful memories.
"Focus, your opponent is me. Enzo said in a deep voice. With that, a dark golden air mass erupted from around him, enveloping Enzo from the bottom up, like a burning torch, warm and excited.
In the next second, the male lion seemed to open his eyes and rushed towards the sheep. Enzo's feet exploded, and the slate shattered, caused by the rapid force of his legs. Enzo left an afterimage, and suddenly came to Al's body between breaths, his left hand accumulated into a fist, wrapped in golden air and rushed towards Al, and even let out a slight lion roar.
It was all too fast! It all happened in a flash of lightning, and Al didn't have time to dodge, so he could only take the stormy fist with his arms. It's just that Al miscalculated this time, the moment Enzo's golden fist hit Al's arm, the golden fist wind passed through his arm and slammed into his chest, the linen robe was instantly shattered into rags and flew around, and Al's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, hit the protective net, and fell to the ground.
With just one punch, the fight was over. Everyone thinks so, and there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the two is not proportional at all.
"It's over?" the girl in the VIP area drank the red wine in her glass, "It's not that all things can be solved by will." ”
Enzo stood still, already putting away his fists and returning to his usual state. In his opinion, there is no need to continue, and in the dust that rises, the young man is afraid that he will have to cultivate for a while.
As the girl ordered, Enzo didn't hit Al's vital parts, but just let his fists spread and hit Al's chest all over him, making him lose his resistance, but not fatally hurting him.
"That's good!" came El's voice in the smoke, and then the dusty Al slowly appeared, and he knelt on one knee, and he could see that the injury was not light. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, his chest turned white, Enzo's punch washed away all the blood in Al's chest. "I won't fall, until these innocent elves are rescued. ”
The corners of his mouth were covered with blood, his upper body was naked and covered with dust, and his right hand was covering the dark red left arm that had just been impacted, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, Al actually stood up, and he didn't seem to want to admit defeat.
"As a soldier, I am impressed by your spirit. "But as an opponent, you're acting stupidly. ”
"Where do you get so much preaching. Al wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I only know one thing, evil can never defeat justice, even if I fall here today, I will never bow to the evil forces!"
Al moved his shoulder, but luckily, the bone wasn't broken, and he was secretly glad. Looking at the man in armor, it was like a mountain between himself and the iron cage. Al didn't know if he could shake the mountain with his own strength, but he knew that if he didn't stand up, he would be forever guilty of not being able to save himself today.
Running forward at breakneck speed, Al felt the muscles of his body rapidly congested, and he even felt his left arm roar happily for the long-lost battle.
There was a knot of anger between El's eyebrows, the kind of indomitable determination, like a lonely cavalry rushing towards an ancient giant with a heavy spear at dusk.
