Chapter 33: The Stranger

The chains began to be gradually straightened, the insulating ropes were elongated and deformed, and the mass of the iron box was not light, rising at a very slow rate.

Lucifer and Asa followed the iron box left and right, the blue light was tightly tightened by the chains, and the barrier at the corner was close to the iron box, they were really afraid that the light would shatter in the next moment.

It was so quiet that Lucifer wanted to find something to say, and he suddenly remembered the duel on Arthur's throne. The thirteen bells called them back in a hurry, and no one saw if the duel was over or what the outcome was. Although he could tell with his golden eyes that Asa had exhausted his moves and was sure to be defeated, Tang Xiaoman's sudden reaction made Lucifer suspicious. He asked, "Did you have a result in a duel with Natsuzo?

"There was a result, I lost. Asa's tone was flat. It was so bland that it seemed like Lucifer was asking him if he had eaten, and he replied, no.

"You lost?!" Lucifer's surprise was not because Asa had lost, he believed in his golden eyes, he was surprised because Asa had such a flat tone, as if he had lost and had lost, and he didn't care.

Asa was a competitive man, whether it was exams, experiments, sports, or even joining the student council, he had to become president. He is a proud lion, he only cares about the first, he only has victory in his eyes, and this time it is related to his favorite Tang Xiaoyi, Lucifer once clearly saw in the duel that Asa wanted to kill Xia Zuo, how could he say in such an indifferent tone at this time that he lost?

"How could you lose?" Lucifer asked knowingly.

Asa glanced at him lightly, Lucifer smiled stiffly, and said, "I didn't think I needed to use all my strength to deal with him, I didn't have much equipment with him, he was very capable and his swordsmanship was also very good, and the equipment I brought was not enough to pose a threat to him, and I had no chance of winning if I continued to fight." ”

Lucifer understood, this Asa dog looked down on people, and thought that Xia Zuo was a little minion who was not in the stream, so he didn't have enough equipment in the sword mound. The duel wasn't over yet, but he felt he couldn't win because he had too little equipment. So if you have enough equipment, you can win Xia Zuo?

"Although the Absolute Blessing is very strong, it is not without weaknesses, in my opinion, his swordsmanship is the key, even if he breaks through the long-range defense of the Absolute Blessing, it is difficult to break through the close-range defense. Of course, if you and my abilities are combined, with your golden pupils, I can win him even if I don't have enough equipment. ”

Lucifer pursed his lips, tsk, it's not that he's too weak, but I didn't expect that you will also lose one day, aren't you a bull? Aren't you invincible in the world? Don't you "don't dye half a drop of blood and cut off countless souls"? If you have the ability, don't lose!

As if guessing what he was thinking, Asa said, "If it were you, it wouldn't last twenty rounds." The tone was light, not angry, he was just stating a fact.

"Not necessarily, maybe I'll make it to twenty-one rounds!"

"It's good to have confidence, it's not realistic to daydream. After a pause, he said, "Do you remember how many rounds I fought under the White Sun last year?"

Lucifer looked embarrassed, how could he forget that at that time, Asa swung his heart and won him with a single sword. That was the greatest shame of Lucifer's life.

……

Thousands of miles away in the village, Karnak.

Wooden houses with brown branches, white bearskins with fluff, and sawfish and trout about to dry in the doorway. The wooden house had no windows, and the gray smoke wafted from the bearskin-covered roof, and there was a strong fragrance.

It was the smell of a roasted Thunderbird, and Little Hawk drooled as he flipped the food on the fire. He has been eating fish for many days, and today he can finally change the taste.

"I'm leaving. "Someone said.

"Oh, I'll come back next time!" Little Hawk didn't pay much attention, the weirdo would leave after all, and he knew that the weirdo wouldn't come again, but his mother had told him to be polite to others, not to mention that this person not only gave him a cloth coat but also helped him catch a thunderbird.

There are many ptarmigans in the snow, which are adapted to frozen habitats and are more hardy than arctic foxes. Little Hawke had never eaten such a bird, he could not catch it, and although the Thunderbird could not fly far, it was good at running and could gallop on the snow.

The weirdo was so powerful that he propped up the stone pot with a grill and sprinkled a handful of yellow snow-like crumbs underneath it. Then he and little Hawk hid in the cabin, and before long a ptarmigan swayed and pecked at the yellow snow particles. At this moment, the strange man hooked his fingers, the grill suddenly tilted, and the stone pot slammed down, and the Thunderbird was trapped in the stone pot and struggled.

The strange man came here in the middle of the moon, and it was a snowstorm that day, and the strange man came from the wind. Little Hawke was sleeping, and the cabin was creaking in the wind. There was a knock on the door, and little Hawke dared to open it, and the strange man stood in the doorway, his figure wrapped in darkness.

The strange man said that he had come from Tulle, and little Hawk vaguely knew that his mother seemed to have told him that there was a place called Thule that was thousands of miles away in Karnak. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was here to bask in the sun and feel the polar day. Karnak had five families, and in the end the strange man chose to live in Little Hawk's house, his reason being that the other four families had too many families, and Little Hawk was the only one.

Once, after dinner, the weirdo asked Hawk why they called him Weirdo, and Hawk said, "Of course it's weird! Second, I can take care of you better if there are more people in my family, I am alone in my family, and the fish in my family are still given to me by the people in the village. Thirdly, you said you came to bask in the sun, why do you always wear your hat on your head, so that you can still bask in the sun?"

The strange man was silent for a long time, and finally took off his hooded clothes and put them on little Hawke, saying, "I've given it to you." Little Hawk was delighted, he had always worn a beast garment, and this was the first time he had worn a garment made of this cloth. Later, Grandpa Alu next door touched Little Hawk's clothes and looked shocked, Grandpa Alu went out to see the world when he was young, and he said, "This is silk! Little Hawke, you are lucky!"

Little Hawke asks what silk is?

"It's something that's very soft, it's very slippery, it's very breathable but it's very thick, and it's very good." ”

Little Hawke touched the clothes on his body, which were indeed very soft and slippery, and indeed very breathable, but warmer than animal skin. And there is also a round seven-pointed star on the back of the clothes, and among the seven-pointed stars are smaller and smaller in turn, a cool pattern. Little Hawk liked the dress so much that in thanks, that night he dug up the bear's paws, which he had treasured for a long time, and roasted them for the stranger.

The weirdo has a regular schedule, looking at the watch in his hand, and has to sleep for eight hours a day at a fixed time. Little Hawke never knew that there was a twenty-four-hour day.

When he doesn't sleep, the weirdo goes to the sea in a daze, there is either nothing on the sea, or there is ice floating on the road, the weirdo can look at the boring sea for a long time, little Hawke has no concept of time, but he thinks it is really a long time, at least twenty-four hours after the mouth of several weirdos.

The eccentric had lived with him for nearly a month, as the eccentric had told him, and the eccentric often told him every once in a while that the day had passed, and he had carefully remembered it, and said twenty-eight times.

The strange man got up and opened the animal skin door of the cabin, and little Hawke suddenly remembered something, and got up and chased after him. Reach in and grab a handful of yellow crumbs and hand it to the weirdo, "Can you tell me what the yellow crumbs are in your pocket?"

"Breadcrumbs. The weirdo turned away, "the most delicious food in the world." ”

Little Hawke stared blankly at the back of the stranger, who was wearing another dress that was exactly the same as his body, with a seven-pointed star pattern wrapped in a circle behind him, and the seven-pointed star was a smaller seven-pointed star in the seven-pointed star. He lowered his head and muttered, "The most delicious food......

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the golden crumbs flew with the wind, and the hands were empty.

Little Hawke sat on the snow with no sparkle in his eyes. The wind came so suddenly, he couldn't believe it, just a second ago, he had lost the most delicious food in the world......
