Chapter 378: Shadow
Today's wind, a little cold.
It was colder than usual.
He stood alone on the street in the morning, wearing an overcoat, clearly warm, but he shivered unconsciously.
People at the entrance of the vegetable market are choosing lunch and afternoon meals, many inland more expensive fish, here is also a cabbage price, as for the outside of the vegetable market, it is natural to sell breakfast.
The steaming heat brings a hint of warmth, many people's breakfast is a little simple, just full, they have to run to various places to start work, the magic of manipulating the flames and the dense crowd temporarily disperse the cold wind, the sky from time to time there are newspapers/milk/letters/couriers/takeaways flying by, the child on the new bicycle is showing off to his partner, and then injecting magic, lighting up the runes, and riding away, his magic is only enough to maintain a stable output to the corner of fifty meters in front, but the fork is enough.
It's the weekend, the young children are full of energy, putting fireballs and thunderbolts on each other that no one can hurt, imitating movie and comic book characters holding up the stone sword mouth and reciting the names of the two moves, the brothers and sisters are watching from the side, and there are also adults slapping the ass of the ignorant child, telling the child that he is wrong, the sanitation worker sweeps up the fallen leaves, invites a whirlwind, cats and dogs chase each other, runs and runs to the trees as if walking on the ground, and can glide and jump down, this is really a normal situation.
On this street, everyone still lives according to the usual rhythm, people don't care about fancy clothes, and they don't gossip about any maverick, and the people of Avaranga have always been very nervous.
So the young man in the black coat is not conspicuous, even if the coat style is only worn by three or two people on this street, no one will look at him.
The young man looked up, and the rising red sun dispelled the cold fog, but there seemed to be no temperature.
"Baked cakes, freshly baked baked cakes, you choose what kind of meat you want to eat. The middle-aged uncle summoned the flames, and Nianli served the dish to the customer's small table, and shouted vigorously, "Fragrant and soft baked cakes." β
"Triangle noodles! spicy, sweet and sour, sweet and spicy, dry sauce, clear soup, watery cabbage, green leaves, leeks, eggs, or without adding it~ββ!" The warrior cultivator with amazing lung capacity was full of joy, and his business seemed to be very good, "Home-grown seasoning~ββ!"
There were other vendors shouting as well.
"Fritters, eggs, ham, pancakes, soy milk, milk!"
"Sharp Ridge ~ - Fresh White Flour Sharp Ridge ββ"
"Sugar gourdββ, little sugar manββγ β
This is, a fairly energetic morning, and everyone is clearly alive.
The streets are full of unique and rhythmic hawking, with accents from all over the world, miscellaneous, but not annoying and noisy.
There's only one thing that upsets people.
That's the noisy sound of the aunt who is struggling to bargain.
They are philistine, loud voice, thick waist, rough hands, and strong strength, put down jewelry and skin care for life, open their mouths like cannons, and eat more and better dishes for their families, as for whether others will hate it, they don't care at all.
In the vegetable shop, the young man who had just taken the place of his brother was so anxious to argue with the middle-aged woman that he was sweating, and refused to reduce the price of his own food, but he was blocked and speechless, but it was his brother who came, and said two words in his ear, which was considered to be a relief, he let the price of five cents, and the aunt was satisfied with the dishes into the cloth pocket, and swaggered out like a triumphant battle, and then squatted down, pretended to be angry, and kindly wiped the grease off the mouth of the greedy little grandson, and patted the ash off the pants.
"Hahββββγ β
He leaned against the tree, unaware of its dirt, and the emerald green evergreen leaves fell one or two, and the man sighed into his hand, and the water vapor in this breath froze in the rapid extraction of heat energy, turned into a willow leaf-like blade, shook it slightly, and pulled it into the cuff, and no one noticed.
Then, the light distorted slightly, and a knife twisted from the runes of the [Wizard Hood] appeared in his fingertips.
Wizards use it to peel fruit.
The blade was spiritual, like a fish at his fingertips, flying and dancing, and carving on the surface of the fruit while peeling, carving a simple word for "spring".
Then I saw a boy holding a comic book in his hand, staring at him in a daze.
The little guy stared blankly at the glow lines on his body that were so faint that he couldn't see them at all if he didn't look carefully, the pale gold was close to pure white mixed with deep blue, pure and clear, all composed of fine runes, he seemed to have discovered this completely inconspicuous thing, and he was fascinated.
The name of that comic book is "Long Winter".
He was slightly stunned and smiled at the boy.
"Mom!" the child woke up, turned back to him, and cried out, "Leon!"
"I see Lyon!"
Then the boy looked over again, but only saw the back of the big brother, the man walked quickly into the sea of people, the back that was almost exactly the same as in the comic books, the world of childhood was always pure, simple, he shouted excitedly.
The wizard didn't look back after hearing the shout, he only raised his right hand slightly, the light and shadow around him were slightly distorted, and the people around him didn't react, as if they couldn't see it, the man disappeared into the vast sea of people.
The melancholy of the child's excessive weekend homework faded at some point, and only excitement and excitement remained:
"Leon!"
......
"Dude, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't need to be so cautious, right?"
Albert looked at his clothes and raised his hands helplessly: "It's really high-spec." β
"You totally deserve this spec. β
The man in black suit and sunglasses in front of him glanced at the chaotic amorphous black fog blockade wall behind him, and then looked at the strange man who was clearly daylight but as black as ink directly above, and squeezed out a kind and friendly smile at him: "Please don't worry, we have no ill intentions, this trip is just to ask you to go back and talk about magic." β
"In terms of energy understanding, there is no doubt that you are a genius that is rare in a thousand years, and it just so happens that we have a few small questions that we need to ask you one or two. β
"It just came with a little movement, and it was so efficient. He complimented, "It's amazing from all angles." β
"Haha, where, where, it's just a necessary measure. β
They spoke softly and eagerly, like close friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they chatted very closely, as if they were gossiping, and even had to set up a table in this alley to push cups and change lamps.
The atmosphere was much more buffered at first.
But at this moment, the wizard's eyes narrowed slightly:
"What if I don't want to?"
He shrugged: "Then there is no way, we only received a message to ask you to go back." β
"It seems that I have no way out. β
He looked at both ends of the alleyway, in this strange path with no doors or windows, only for people to walk through.
All the directions that seem to be passable have become dead areas, and they can't get through, but this is also normal, this is the place they use to boil frogs in warm water to gradually eliminate unstable factors and maintain social stability to contain garbage, the underground half-dimensional space enchantment network, wouldn't it be ridiculous if the scavenger didn't know how to cover the lid of the garbage can.
"That's true. He held out his hand, "Come with us." β
"No, there's one left. β
Albert pressed his right hand against the wall, the wall shook, ripples appeared, he pierced through the wall like a technique, still talking, but his voice gradually drifted away: "I'll start a formal study." β
"But not now. β
"Huh. The gentle smile on the man in sunglasses didn't diminish in the slightest, "You can't run away." β
......
The alleyway was dark, dark, the doors and windows were closed, the whole spacious and tidy road was empty except for the liquidator, the air was filled with a faint rancid smell, and in the silence, he laughed expressionlessly.
"Hehe, what a good day is today, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are piling up. β
Everything that had happened that day was worth complaining about, though there was no resentment or anger in his heart.
"It's fate, old friend. β
The young man in his early twenties, dressed in a gray robe and trousers, looked like he was in his early twenties, and smiled a little twisted and broken:
"It's doomed from the beginning, you can't run away, just stay. β
A strange flush appeared on the sickly pale cheeks, and he licked the blade of the sword, letting the cold, sharp edge cut through the slender little tongue, and shivered with intoxication.
"Acquaintanceββ. learning artββ. brothers ββ. killing each otherββ. fratricidal brotherhood, ah, what a cruel fate!"
"That's how, how much. β
"Beautiful!"
Only this one has not changed, from the first day of acquaintance, this madman is now like this, it is said that when he was fished out of the stinking ditch of the slum and lay on the ground like a dead dog, his personality was completely crumbled and distorted.
"It's true that [Midnight Daddy] saved me when I strayed into [The Passage] in the first place, but that doesn't mean I should stay there. β
Albert held it in one hand, and the rune greatsword was instantly constructed: "I am a materialist, it is not fate that saves me, I believe in science, so everything that can change in the past and future certainty is a fart." β
Salvation is a real thing that exists between all things.
But it doesn't seem to be here.
"It's still so pure, old friend. β
He suddenly calmed down, lowered his head, his shoulders trembled a little, and his whole body was strangely relaxed, and when he raised his head again, it was a more morbidly distorted crimson complexion.
"Although when I first saw you, you seemed to be a half-dead person with a filthy soul, but the seemingly indifferent lend of a helping hand, the brilliance inside can't be hidden. β
"Now you even have the brilliance of being alive on the surface, and I even, evenββγ β
Without warning, he yelled and slashed at him.
"I want to defile you!"
Two swords thundered together!
A subtle glow of energy erupted all around them, one golden blue and the other crimson.
The huge power belonging to the transcendent warrior came from the enemy's sword body, and the strength technique and short-term burst as well as self-blessing allowed him to resist, but even he gradually felt a little struggling, and the huge qi and blood strength and will of the second-ring warrior completely surpassed him.
After the blessing of gold and blue, he was slightly inferior, and in the pure strength competition, Albert was doomed to failure.
"Shame on people! Don't talk about killing people so literary!"
So he was shocked, and his strength penetrated his body, forcibly pushing him away, and he was steadily moving like a mountain to show his martial arts.
However, he saw that the young man was only shaken back two steps before regaining his balance.
The door is wide open, and it hits the point!
Bloody, crazy and impactful, this is a completely abandonment of defense, injury for injury, he wants to die with him, the sword is like his man, this is a complete madman.
But he blocked, extremely fast blocking and unloading techniques, and the defense was not leaky.
Even if the aggressive forces were trying to disintegrate his blessing runes.
"Sure enough, you're still such a terrible genius. He sniffed the smell of his wound with an intoxicated face, and the appearance was like taking drugs, "Dangerous, powerful, a lion will always be a lion." β
"No, I'm an ordinary person. β
The other party reacted violently to this self-denial.
"Don't be kidding!" he roared, blood glittering, "stupid! You and I are both geniuses, you are stronger than me! How can the strong be willing to be in the company of the weak!"
The swift sword as fast as the wind swept the red rays and surged like a tide.
Pure murderous swordsmanship without impurities.
When the skills of thousands of tempers were combined with the power of special frequency qi and blood, the strange swordsmanship that had been studied specifically for Albert began to become more and more tricky.
This is a genuine swordsmanship genius, a swordsman who follows the right path.
Every day is training hard, every blow will be faster than the last time, every blow will be stronger than the last time, immersed in infinite martial arts, every day there is progress, will reach new heights, engrave the tricks as instinct, read through the scriptures ten thousand times, and challenge new peaks with existing skills.
The other party is undoubtedly such a seeker.
This is not supposed to be a gap that pure talent can bridge.
"Stupid, can you block a few magic guns, can you withstand the magic cannon? You are just the dregs of history, something that should have been eliminated a long time ago. Albert closed his eyes, "And I'm really a normal person, it's just cheating, that's the truth, you can never understand." β
And when such a genius stands in front of him, he can match it, which is an incredible miracle.
"This body is born with poor physique, and I didn't expect it to be able to get to where it is today. He opened his eyes again, and there was only a blank look in his eyes, "Fortunately, I've already pushed Cecilia away." β
But he did.
"I'll be miserable after that, and you'll never know. β
"What is a limiter. β
The two swords collided again, one triggering the scarlet light and calamity qi and blood, and the other flickering the light of the golden blue deep rune.
It's going to be a long day.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I'm going to finish this transition as soon as possible, can you give a little bit of comment to the only fighting part?
The back will not go in strange directions.
I vouch for it with the dignity of a man.
