31 The Juggernaut arrives
The light faded, and a figure was revealed.
"Master Swo!" Catherine smacked herself up from her seat. The female mage glanced at As, and walked briskly towards Master Swo.
Master Swo was a little old man, with sparse gray hair, but he kept a handful and tied it at the back of his head. He had deep wrinkles carved into his forehead, and his eyes were dull because of the fat bags under his eyes. The old man was half-strapped, and he didn't even look as tall as Catherine. He was dressed in old clothes, and his clothes were stained with spots of color, red, yellow, black, and green...... In short, colorful. In addition, his old boots were large and dirty, and seemed to be ill-fitting, and one toe protruded from the worn hole to probe his brain. The old man shook his head as if he was tired enough, holding an extremely wide tawny greatsword in both hands.
But Catherine wasn't going to be fooled by Master Swo's appearance. Don't look at the sword stuck in the ground, it's as high as Master Swo's chest. But if you count the small half of the sword body buried in the ground, it is not difficult to imagine how big the whole sword is.
Of course, such a giant sword is not something that anyone can easily wield, and the old man's strength is probably not comparable to that of As.
Master Swo smiled at the mage and beckoned Catherine to stand beside him, but was in no hurry to speak to her. The old man coughed and shouted, "Alas, who is that? Did you just want to slay the dragon? I don't know if this dragon was asked by His Majesty St. Fa'an? If you want to slaughter, it will not be your turn." ”
"Uh," Hermeth let out a low groan from his throat. It seems that it is extremely dissatisfied with Master Swo's statement, but the black dragon seems to be badly injured, and it is only a way to express its anger.
Catherine was startled by the black dragon's sudden cry. She realized that she was standing too close to the ferocious dragon. Who knows if the next moment, Hermes will have a whim and want to have a snack or something. The mage quickly shifted her steps and walked to the other side of Master Swo. To stay away from the dragon is to stay away from danger, even if it is only a little bit away.
"St. Faan?" said Phisan pulled a chair and sat down, "Oh, old fellow, are you too old to be confused? Not to mention that St. Fa'an has been in the grave for an unknown number of years. Even back then, if he had really dealt with Hermes, this stupid dragon wouldn't have barked here. ”
"Uh" Hermes once again expressed its displeasure. It's a pity that no one cares about the Black Dragon's protest at the moment, if it weren't for the presence of Master Swo just now, maybe he really achieved the reputation of Feishuang Slaying the Dragon.
"Ignorant woman. Master Swo waved his hand disdainfully, not wanting to talk to Frost anymore.
"Alas, Swo, I didn't expect you to come. Someone sighed softly.
Catherine saw Master Swee's body tremble slightly. "Master, are you alright?" the female mage hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm.
Master Swo patted the back of Catherine's hand and signaled that she was okay. "Huh" The old man suddenly straightened his waist, and lifted the giant sword to the ground with the handle of his sword in his hand.
The war team of the "Qiang" elf actually raised the long knife in his hand at the same time because of Master Swo's action.
Master Swo smiled disapprovingly, dragging the greatsword forward.
"Snap" Almost at the same time, the twenty-two soldiers of the war squad took a step forward in unison and put on an attack formation.
"Huh?" the old man stopped, his eyes narrowed, and the greatsword behind him began to glow with a faint yellow glow.
"Old fellow, do you still want to fight? Come on, come on. Fei Shuang, who was sitting in the chair, jumped up excitedly. With a "whoosh", more than a dozen figures stood in a row.
Catherine didn't expect the elven war squad to react so violently. But now she didn't hesitate to side with Master Swo. The female mage's mind was secretly moving, and two fireballs appeared in her hand.
"Captain, here we are. Ferry shouted and rushed over, Ace and Green Wind following closely behind, one left and one right in front of Catherine. Even Hermeth swung its head as if it could breathe out a few breaths of fire at any moment.
In just a few minutes, the situation changed unexpectedly. Catherine herself couldn't figure out how she could lead the mercenary group to confront Master Swo and Hermeth against the committee.
"So you're Master Swo from Domest. Fortunately, Mrs. Visy stood up at the critical moment, and as soon as she moved, the other members of the committee also left their seats.
"Contemporary King Himself Swordmaster, your name of courage has even spread to our remote corner city. As the Chair of the Corner City Executive Committee, I welcome you. Lady Vicie's voice fell, and the other members of the committee bowed down in salute to Master Swar. Even the belligerent Fei Shuang had to pretend to salute.
Mrs. Vicie's statement eased the atmosphere. Master Swo stood still, wiped his forehead with his hand, and exhaled as if relieved. The old man leaned forward slightly, grinning at the six committee members in front of him. His gaze swept back and forth, finally resting on a woman with a pointed chin.
"Bi, so you're hiding here. "If I had known you were here, I might have come to you thirty years ago." Thirty years, you haven't changed at all. Envy, what an envy!"
Bin smiled calmly, and she bowed half to Lady Vicie, and walked up to Master Swo in the open. The pointy-chin lady reached out and pressed her hand to Master Swo's cheek, and she said softly, "Swo, you are really old. Thirty years is not a short time for you. It's just thirty years ago, even if you knew I was here, how could you come to the corner city alone?
Catherine extinguished the fireball in her hand, she already knew that the person she had just sighed was Bi. Catherine looked at Master Swo, and then at Bi, and secretly wondered: Master Swo and this lady with a pointed chin must have an unusual relationship. Thirty years of old acquaintances, the master was also young.
Thinking of this, Catherine felt lucky again. The female mage quietly took a half-step forward and pressed her small body against As's back. Unfortunately, the deputy head of the regiment was as indifferent as a wooden man, and Catherine secretly went to twist his thighs in anger. However, the little hand of the sneak attack was firmly held, warm, powerful, rough and thick. Catherine's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but rest her head on As's shoulder.
However, this little warmth between the two did not last for a few seconds, and a discordant voice came out.
"Oh haha, Bi, it turns out that this bad old man is the guy who made you cry for three days and three nights. I have to say, your taste is simply too low, too low. ”
Bi's face suddenly became as ugly as it was. Catherine smiled bitterly in her heart, that Lady Frost was really a headache, and her fellow members of the committee must have laughed and cried at her.
"Hi, old man. Fei Shuang didn't seem to think the atmosphere was bad enough, "What are you doing this time? It's not that easy, come on, let's have another competition. If you beat me, Bi will consider giving you a chance. ”
Frost said to herself, making a decision for Ms. Pointed Chin.
Even Madame Visy couldn't listen to it anymore. Master Swo appeared in Corner City with Hermes, naturally not to pursue his old lover.
"Miss Fisher, please think a little before you speak. Your words and deeds represent the attitude and will of the Committee as a whole. "Now please return to your seat, I have something to say to Master Swar. ”
Frost reluctantly glanced at Lady Vicie and yawned "ah". She pursed her lips, picked up the large file nail clippers, and walked back to the chair behind her with her nails pinched, and sat down.
Stopping Fei Shuang's nonsense, most of the people present breathed a sigh of relief. But Master Swo was not surprised, he actually grabbed Bi's hand and said, "Bi, do you really want to go with me." I look a little older, but my heart is still young. ”
Catherine, who was standing behind Master Swo, saw that the face of the Lady with a pointed chin turned red. Bi Xin shook off the old man's hand in a panic and said, "Swo, let me introduce you." These are the Chief Member of our Committee, Mrs. Vicie, the Second Committee, Master Mermo, the Fifth Committee, Mr. Fangbi, and the Seventh Committee, Mr. Gray Cloud. ”
Bi intentionally or unintentionally omitted Fei Shuang, but the third committee member didn't care at all, just sat on the chair and smashed her nails.
Lady Visy nodded, smiled and said, "Today, the famous Kurid mercenary group has traveled tirelessly and by chance to visit the Corner City. Originally, I wanted to make an introduction for you, but it seems that you, who are also from the royal city of Daxt, are no strangers to Captain Catherine, so I won't bother much. ”
After a well-timed pause of two seconds, the Chief Commissioner added: "However, the Corner City is currently too busy to pay you our highest respect, and the Committee deeply regrets this. In addition, I did not expect that you have a deep friendship with our Sixth Commissioner, and I personally do not want to disturb the two of you in their old stories. It's just that the current situation is special, as the chief member of the Executive Committee of Corner City, please allow me to take the liberty of asking, Dear Master Swo, why did you and the Black Dragon Hermeth choose this time to visit Corner City?"
"I'm here on the way, and it's Hermes who is looking for you, and you have something to ask him. But I advise you to hurry up, there's a big trouble coming. After the old man finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's eyes, and took Bi's hand in a big way.
"Let's go over there. Master Swo said, pointing to a vacant block with his chin. He pulled the slightly twisted Bi Gang and walked two steps, then turned around and threw the giant sword in his hand to As, "Boy, you help me hold it first." ”
The old man happily dragged the pointed chin and spoke.
Ace hurriedly caught Master Swo's greatsword, and the heavy greatsword nearly crushed him to the ground. Ace let go of one hand and rested the head of his sword on the ground.
"This is the Sword of the Earth. The deputy head of the regiment muttered to himself with his eyes shining. I saw him grasp the hilt of the sword with both hands, spread his feet back and forth, and take a deep breath. "Heh-" The sword of the earth was suddenly carried on As's shoulder. The deputy head closed his eyes, took another deep breath, and his arms instantly swelled.
"Hum—" Ace swung his Earth Sword with all his might, the blade slicing through the air and letting out a low roar. "Haha, what a heavy sword, what a heavy sword. Ace laughed obliviously. It seems that he is ready to take advantage of the rare opportunity to try the Swordmaster Master's giant sword.
"Hey, dear Deputy Commander, now is not the time to test your sword. Ferry who was standing behind Ace reminded the deputy head of the regiment who was obviously overly excited.
