Chapter 4: The Hurricane of Death
Two months were fast approaching, and the day I was away from the village was approaching. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Vivien has always been a little reluctant to my words of "you are my collectible", after explaining her self-definition of "collectibles", Vivien, who is already a captive, can only acquiesce to her own situation. After these days of getting along, Vivien's relationship with me has become more and more harmonious, but it is inevitable that she will have some resentment towards me.
Before leaving, I repeatedly told the village chief, Dichitino and Rhea that they should be secretive and not reveal their strength unless necessary. Since the military training ground is erected on the Lover's Valley in the back mountain, the members of the "Sword of Shenglun" are all dressed in the costumes of the villagers during non-training, and the sentries are also disguised as villagers, so they are generally not exposed to the public. Because it is okay to deal with the army of the young man with the current strength of the village of Dotir, but it is absolutely impossible to compete with a large army. Therefore, I have repeatedly asked the team members to continuously enhance the combat ability of individual soldiers, and the training of cavalry is mainly based on mobile and rapid assault training. At present, the guiding ideology of the armed forces of various countries on the mainland is to stress the rigor and logic of their formations, and although this has greatly strengthened their frontal combat capability, the result of paying too much attention to logic and rationality is inevitably to appear dull and stagnant, lack sufficient flexibility, and make it difficult to cope with unexpected events. Of course, I also understand that strength is the key, and the "Sword of Shenglun", which lacks heavy cavalry, is inevitably at a disadvantage in a frontal attack, and I can only try my best to give full play to the advantages of existing resources, and try to make use of my strengths and avoid weaknesses, and the structure of strategy and tactics must be based on strength.
When everything was ready, it was time for me to leave. My original intention was to leave Vivien in the village, but for some reason, Vivien insisted on going with me, and I finally agreed. The main reason why I was willing to take Vivien with me was that if she were left in the village, Vivien would become a very special being, and even if she was changed to coarse cloth, it would be difficult to hide her natural beauty, and it would be easy for outsiders to recognize, and it would inevitably become the source of all variables in the village.
The reason why I saved Vivian in the first place was because of her helplessness on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was out of my innate intuition about the value of her identity, because I intuitively believed that the identity of this woman who was escorted by the cavalry was extraordinary, and the facts also proved that Vivian's special identity would be of great significance and great help to me when he entered the kingdom of Dotyr one day.
Although I knew that my motives were ill-intentioned, and that its appearance would inevitably be cold and despicable, I did it anyway, and after all, this result also saved Vivien from a tragic fate for the time being, and whether it would lead her into another unknowable fate is beyond my grasp.
For the rest of my life, I couldn't shake this deep sense of guilt. I also single-handedly screwed the fate of Vivian, who had been in love and hate with me, with my own.
After taking care of everything, we said goodbye to the villagers, and after a day and a night of travel, we finally walked out of the mountains on the border of the Dotir Kingdom, after we left, the Dotir Kingdom was still in the midst of a continuous civil war, and the time to change this situation was far from yet - all this would change until Vivien and I returned to the Dotir Kingdom again. About ten days later, they entered the Republic of Sanok, a small city-state located in the western part of the Kingdom of Dotil.
The Republic of Sarnook is located on the edge of the "Heart of Death" desert in the middle of the southern continent of St. Lunnan, with undulating mountains to the east, and a number of small countries on the north and south, including Bogo, Dragonlis, and Denfrey in the north, and more than a dozen small countries such as the Duchy of Maika, the City Union of Mandeli, and the Tujun Sandcastle in the south. On the edge of the desert, these small nations form a lax alliance of defense and chambers of commerce to fight off the bandits that infest the desert oases and marginal towns.
As we entered Nagvi, the capital of the Republic of Sarnook, we could already feel the hot wind coming from the desert. The city is full of exotic atmospheres, and the streets are interspersed with people of all kinds in strange costumes, some wrapped in white cloth with only their eyes exposed, some with bare chests and backs, and some wearing armor...... It constitutes a unique scenery on the border desert.
But I don't feel in the mood to appreciate this strange atmosphere now, and we just stand in the middle of the bustling street like idiots, without looking at other scenery, and we ourselves become someone else's scenery.
"Teacher Vitan, haven't you remembered how to walk the way?" I couldn't help but ask, I don't mind people thinking I'm crazy, but I don't want to be exposed to the sun in the scorching sun, which is neither good for health nor beauty, and there is no beauty at all.
"This ...... You have to think about it...... I haven't been here in a long time, and the streets used to be not like this...... The change is too big, and I can't find the direction for a while. β
"I'm almost a fossil...... I see you're a bit of dementia...... Just think about it slowly. I said angrily. Along the way, I didn't suffer from Mr. Vitan's forgetfulness, and I was worn out of temper.
Then I said to Vivien, "Lend me the lyre." β
Vivien didn't understand my intentions, but she took the piano out and handed it to me.
So I started playing melodious music in the middle of the street. Pedestrians on the street are slowly drawn in, and rarely form a circle. A few copper coins were scattered from the crowd and scattered in front of me. I feel like I'm completely in the middle of a troubadour. In this way, you can not only earn money, but also use the shadows of onlookers to shade, which is really a double win. By the time Mr. Vitan decided on the direction to go, the money for a few meals was gone, and I didn't have to pay for it myself, although I was not short of money, but I could save it - I realized that I had inherited someone's talent in some way.
Vivien and I followed Mr. Vitan around the streets seven or eight times before Mr. Vitan stopped at a dilapidated blacksmith shop.
The storefront is very small, located in a secluded alley corner, and some weapons and iron products are placed in a mess, and its quality can be described as crude, and there is not even a human figure, even the owner is nowhere to be found, and the real door is full of birds. Mr. Vitan had come all the way to this ironsmith shop, and his motives were really confusing.
As soon as Mr. Vitan arrived at the door, he shouted, "Little ghost! An old friend is here, and he's still sleeping! β
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of Suo Suo from within. Then a man came out of it.
This "little ghost" called by Teacher Vitan is really small, but not young, but small - because this is a dwarf, and his age is probably eighty years old, although I don't know the age of the dwarf race, but judging by the deep wrinkles on his face, gray beard, and rickety body, it is definitely impossible to be a young man.
When the dwarf saw Teacher Vitan, he had a surprised and excited expression on his face, and said to Teacher Vitan in a deep nasal voice, "You're finally here!" I can't wait if you don't come again! β
The setting of the store can only be described as small, and it is really not an adjective for small things such as small and chic, on the contrary, it is on the same level as crude and disorganized. It was cramped, and the space was much smaller than the average home, which was a real sin for a man of my stature - my head was about to hit the ceiling.
When everyone had finished their seats, I carefully sat down on the little bench with suspicion, and I didn't want to break it and fall to the ground, so that my aesthetic style would be lost.
It is rumored that all the dwarves are skilled craftsmen, and if it weren't for the unique pointed palate on the face of this white-bearded old man to indicate his dwarf identity, I would have suspected that this is not a dwarf, but a dwarf among the humans. I really don't understand how there can be such a bad workmanship among the dwarves. Is this dwarf completely lacking in his own talent, or is the dwarven craft itself overstated?
The dwarf first couldn't wait to ask, "Os, where have you been all these years?" Then, as if he hadn't noticed Vivien and me until now, he looked at us strangely and said, "These two are ......."
"Bernini, you're still so impatient! People who are more than 1,000 years old can't change their bad personalities. This kid's name is Alex, and he's my student, and the other is his girlfriend. Teacher Vitan, who was called "Oss", said. "Os" is a name I have never heard from Mr. Vitan - what kind of strange experiences did this strange teacher have in his life?
Hearing that she was introduced by Teacher Vitan as my girlfriend, Vivien's pretty face turned red for no reason, and she lowered her head silently. And I was a little sneering, after all, the relationship between the two of us was quite vaguely defined, and even I didn't know what kind of mentality to face Vivien, so I could only be silent at this time, and I couldn't say anything.
"Alex, Vivien, this is Uncle Bernini, who was once the greatest warrior of the dwarves...... But he was the worst blacksmith. Teacher Vitan turned to us.
I reluctantly called "Uncle", but Vivien sweetly called "Uncle Bernini", which made the dwarf uncle immediately smile and forget my rudeness to him. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: it turns out that regardless of race or age, as long as it is a male animal, it is not inherently immune to beautiful women.
At this time, Bernini looked at me carefully and exclaimed: "Os, Os! I didn't think you would have an apprentice one day! In the past, you have always been independent and special, and you never liked to walk with people, except for Ashana ......" At this point, he swallowed half of the words back into his stomach.
I glanced at Teacher Vitan, whose face had changed dramatically, with a playful eye, and said, "Teacher Vitan, should I call you Teacher Vitan?" Or Mr. Oss? β
After listening to my words, Mr. Vitan had an unusually depressed and lonely look on his face, and he stood up and looked up at the ceiling, but that unfocused look gave people the feeling that Mr. Vitan's gaze had been lost in the endless void. After a long time, Teacher Vitan sighed faintly and said, "Os...... It's already out of reach...... The past that belongs to Oss is like a dead leaf, and it no longer has any meaning...... Now, my name is Vitan...... I hope you remember that, Benigni! β
I've never seen Mr. Vitan look like this, and even I can't help but be moved.
And Bernini's wrinkled face also showed a sad expression, and he said a little helplessly: "Os...... Vitan! After all these years, you still can't let go...... Thousands of years of long years, the stars have changed, can't they fill up your sorrow and dilute your guilt? Turning your back on all glory and brilliance, and trampling on all power and prestige, is it not enough to make up for your sins? Such...... Why should you bother? My King! My king......
Bernini's voice had become hoarse with excitement, and at last he was dumbfounded.
I quietly looked at the two people in front of me, but my thoughts were rolling like a frenzy: Teacher Vitan, the former king, today's painter of the fall! What a change! What kind of king will this be? Teacher Vitan, what kind of glorious past did you have?!
At this time, Teacher Vitan suddenly said, "Bernini, is the thing you kept for me still there?" β
A look of surprise flashed across Bernini's face, but he immediately said, "Of course...... It is to protect what you have given me that my life can last until now! Profound...... Vitan, you're finally going to use it? I thought I would have no hope of seeing you use it in this life! It is with the small hope that you will one day be able to use it, I can cross the limits of my life and survive to the present ...... I thought I was going to hold your belongings to the underworld...... But I'm not reconciled, I'm not willing to swallow this breath to the underworld...... I'm finally looking forward to the day when you'll come back! You're finally ...... You've finally decided to go back? β
"It's time to go back......," Vitan's calm voice carried something I couldn't comprehend. Is it for him? Bernini looked at me and asked.
Teacher Vitan was noncommittal, but said to Bernini, "Take it out for me." β
Bernini nodded silently, and was about to walk into the inner room when he heard an unusually noisy sound from outside.
Immediately, a rough male voice came in from outside: "Is anyone there?" Where is the owner? Come out for Lao Tzu, there is business! β
Bernini frowned and said to us, "I'll go out and get rid of him, and you guys will rest for a while." β
With that, he walked outside. Then there was a quarrel outside: "Why don't you do business?" Lao Tzu came all the way here to ask you to make me a flying knife, and you even said that you would not do Lao Tzu's business! β
"Guest, I'm sorry, I have something to do today...... Is it okay to change the day? β
"Your shabby little shop isn't even in business! Your handiwork here is rough, and the casting process is completely below the level, if it weren't for Lao Tzu seeing that the flying knife you made was not delicate but extremely sharp, Lao Tzu would not have bothered to come! Fuck, Lao Tzu gives you face to patronize you, and you don't even know how to lift! Do you look down on Lao Tzu! His grandmother's, you look down on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tear down your shop, anyway, no one will patronize you! Lao Tzu has demolished your broken shop now! β
"Guest...... Hold your hands high...... I really can't do it today! β
"Grandma, you damned dwarf! Get out of the way! Isn't it even you who owe a beating! β
Only Bernini's "oops" was heard, followed by the sound of falling, followed by the sound of "ping-pong". It seems that the villain not only beat people up, but also started smashing the store.
Mr. Vitan and I glanced at each other and walked outside. Vivien followed me out.
I saw an unusually tall man holding a broad-faced sword with a glittering cold light, cutting everything in the store to pieces. All kinds of weapons that were originally hung or placed on the wooden table were scattered all over the ground, and it was a mess.
Bernini, on the other hand, got up from the ground, his thin face slightly bruised and bloodshot at the corner of his mouth.
When he saw me come out, the tall man stopped the sabotage and first fixed his eyes on me.
I also looked at him coldly: the beard on Guozi's face was angry, covering half of his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes were blazing, a reddish-purple scar scurled from the corner of his left eye along the bridge of his nose to the right side of his face, and then disappeared into a thick beard tied up like iron, he was burly and tall, I was already tall enough, but he was half a head taller than me, and the blue samurai uniform he was wearing was yellow and shabby, but he exuded a bold and rugged and mighty domineering spirit.
The man looked at me for a moment and said, "Little brother, do you want to interfere?" But you have to worry about whether your neck is thick enough! β
I shook my head and replied coldly, "It's none of my business, I never interfere!" β
The man nodded, but a look of contempt flashed, and said: "Little fellow, you are still a smart person, and you are not strong in what you are not capable of, although there is no kind!" β
"It's none of your business whether there's a kind or not. However, you are yelling outside and you are disturbing me to rest, so you must apologize. If you don't want to apologize, I'll have to trouble you to get out of here. I said indifferently, as if stating something that I took for granted.
"Haha......" The man suddenly burst into laughter, choking on tears from laughter, as if he had heard a very ridiculous joke.
After laughing, the man said, "This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life!" It's the first time I've heard someone ask me to apologize and tell me to get out! Little brother, you are too ignorant of the sky! β
As soon as the words fell, Bernini was already shouting in fear: "You are the leader of the 'Hurricane' thieves group, one of the three major thieves group in the 'Grim Heart' desert, and the 'Hurricane of Death' Memphis!" You...... How did you end up in Nagwi? The United Defense Forces are searching for you! β
It can be seen that the "hurricane of death" has a great shocking power, otherwise it would not have made Bernini so frightened. In fact, anyone who has walked in the desert of the "Heart of Death" knows that the "Hurricane of Death" is a terrible man, with a wide sword in his hand that can cut through heavy city gates, and cut people even like cutting grass mustard, and his flying knife skills even the great swordsman has three points. The "Hurricane" bandit group led by him was a nightmare for all merchants and wealthy merchants, not only crisscrossing the vast sand sea and oasis, but also entering the city from time to time to attack the big families of the surrounding small countries, coming and going like the wind, without a trace, making people smell and change. But the only thing that is commendable is that he never invaded the homes of civilians, nor did he kill unarmed people, but generally only plundered property and did not kill the owner of the goods and exterminate the mouth.
After listening to Bernini's words, the man known as the "Cyclone of Death" smiled proudly and said, "How can the United Defense Force, which is composed of several small countries, be put in my eyes!" Hmph, I don't go to them for those idiots, they're already going to thank the gods, and they dare to take the initiative to come to me?! β
After saying that, Memphis turned to look at me: "Your ignorance and rudeness will be the root of your death today!" Suddenly, I found Vivien, who was standing behind me, with a blazing light in her eyes, and said, "Little brother, is this your girlfriend?" Really Peugeot! Pity...... If I hadn't been...... But my brother is also a first-class man, and if you are willing to give him up to my brother, I can spare your life today!" Little sister, following my brother, is much better than following that useless brat! β
"Okay," I said lightly, "and that's really an attractive condition, she's not my girlfriend either......"
saw Vivien's face turn pale.
"You promised!" Memphis said happily.
"It's good, but ......," I said coldly, "she's not my girlfriend, but she's my beloved collector's item!" If you want to move her, you must first step over my corpse! But I'm afraid you'll have to pay with your life for your arrogance and rudeness! β
After saying that, I had already rushed forward, pulled out the "unnamed", and took the initiative to stab a sharp sword at Memphis!
Unexpectedly, I would take the initiative to attack, Memphis's expression was obviously stunned, but the broad-mouth sword in his hand had already cut through the air.
I could only hear a crisp metal clash of metal, and my long sword struck the Memphis Broadmouth without any sparks, which shows that the quality of both swords is superb. But the impact was so powerful that Memphis took half a step back.
"Good!" Memphis's expression changed slightly, and with a swing of the broad-mouthed sword in his hand, he slid away from my long sword and slashed horizontally towards my chest in a serpentine shape.
This sword was far beyond the weight of the giant sword and the agility and lightness that Memphis's huge body should not have, and it brought a scorching air current.
I quickly retreated, but the space in the alley was unusually narrow, and in the blink of an eye, I was leaning against the back wall, and there was no way to retreat. The terrible broad-mouthed sword is just around the corner!
But I lifted my heels and rose against the wall, and the light spirit swept high up like a qualitative ghost and stuck to the wall above Memphis. His wide-mouthed greatsword was stuck against the bottom of my feet and into the wall.
My foot kicked on the broad-mouthed sword, lifted up another two meters, and then condescendingly slashed at Memphis.
But this sword also missed! I saw Memphis quickly stride sideways and turn to the other side of the broad-mouthed sword, forming a parallel line with the broad-mouthed sword in front of him inserted into the wall. Although his chest was broken open by my sword qi, it was not damaged in the slightest.
Memphis pulled out his greatsword sideways, leaving a huge hole in the wall, and the light from the outside penetrated and fell to the ground in a pillar of light.
Then, Memphis swung his broadsword wide open and slammed my figure in mid-air.
But I violated the laws of mechanics and physics, and forced myself to turn back to the wall, and walked on the wall as if I were walking on the ground, taking advantage of the gaps and depressions in the wall, and while dodging the attack of Memphis, I leaned back and returned the sword, forming a strange scene of you running under the wall chasing me on the wall.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already fought dozens of times, but at this moment, half of the wall that had been swept by the countless sword qi of Memphis collapsed, and I immediately fell to the ground.
Then I quickly lowered my body, and Memphis's greatsword grazed by, narrowly avoiding the blow.
As soon as I squatted down, I suddenly burst into flames, and with a loud shout, the "Weiming" full of strength instantly turned red, and the fiery sword qi pierced Memphis's abdomen.
Memphis was taken aback, turned from active to passive, and began to wander away from my sword. The figures of the two began to intertwine and merge at high speed, and under the high-speed operation, the alley was full of our sword shadows and afterimages, and the exchange of the two seemed to be a group battle of more than a dozen people. Affected by the scorching sword qi and the fierce sword wind, the surrounding wind elements also showed unusual fluctuations, forming several wind whirls around us.
At this time, I suddenly stopped the attack, and stood quietly, pointing my long sword sideways at Memphis, forming a posture of drawing a bow and shooting long, and the sweat on my body was steamed into a cloud of water vapor by my accumulated fighting spirit, covering my entire figure in it, looming.
And Memphis, who seemed to be relieved, stood three meters away, the wide-mouthed giant sword held high trembled slightly, his face was slightly tired, his chest and abdomen were regularly volatile, and the muscles of his body were tensing and relaxing rhythmically under the action of strength, and he also completed the process of accumulating momentum.
The whole alley was silent, and Mr. Vitan, Bernini, and Vivien, who were watching the battle, seemed to be holding their breath with nervousness, and could only hear the rhythmic inhalation and exhalation of Memphis and memphis, and the whistling of the wind around us.
Eventually, even the sound of our breathing and the whirlwind abruptly stopped, and there was only absolute silence all around. The air was filled with the tremendous pressure that Memphis and I were about to erupt.
At this time, the sleeve of my shirt suddenly broke and fell, and a faint trace of blood appeared on the skin of my arm where the crack occurred...... I gently triggered "Weiming" and said lightly: "You are defeated!" β
Then he rushed in front of Memphis like lightning, and shouted: "Beautiful sword skills - Wind God Imperial Dance!" The "Unnamed" wind speed in his hand rotated, and the fiery sword qi with a spiral struck Memphis like an electric arrow!
Memphis was shocked, and condensed a powerful sword qi to try to block the power of my self-created "beautiful sword technique" with a single blow.
However, the wide-mouthed greatsword that tried to block the grid was swept away by a powerful spiral when it came into contact with my "unnamed", and Memphis, who was surprised by the loss of his weapon, tried to move and fly back, but as if he was tightly bound by something, he couldn't move! At this time, you can faintly see that Memphis is surrounded by swirling wind beams!
This is the power that comes with the beautiful sword technique I created myself in combination with the Wind Binding Technique, the "Wind God Misho Dance". Since this is the initial shape of my self-created sword technique, there are still many imperfections, and I don't have the ability to complete the wind binding technique in an instant, so I gradually condensed the wind element of the space into several small wind whirls in the battle just now - the slight change in the air flow in this battle was also easily concealed by Memphis, and when I launched the "Wind God Imperial Dance", the spiral sword qi quickly attracted the latent wind whirlpool, and the wind binding technique was also completed.
But Memphis's strength was astonishing, and when he realized that something was wrong, he broke through the restraints of the Wind Binding Technique with an instant burst of strength - but in the blink of his movements, my sword was already on his neck! Although the terrifying swirling sword aura on the sword has been dissipated by me, the incomparably sharp "unnamed" blade can cut Memphis's thick neck at any time.
"I'm defeated!"
Memphis let out a long sigh and then said cheerfully, "Kill me!" "The face is calm and fearless.
"Why should I kill you?" I removed the "unnamed" and inserted it back into my waist, and said indifferently, "I never do unnecessary things." β
Memphis looked at me deeply and said, "You're so interesting! You should know that you won't win easily...... Next time, I won't be fooled again and let you condense the wind element, and this time I didn't have the throwing knife with me...... So, next time I won't hesitate to kill you! In this way, leaving behind a person who is enough to threaten your life, do you still want to let me go? β
I looked deep into Memphis's eyes and said, "Will you?" Will the king of the desert entangle me over such a trivial matter? Could the man known as the 'Hurricane of Death' be such a person who can't afford to lose? Besides, the next time we meet, my strength is far greater than at this moment, do you think there is still a chance to beat me? β
Memphis thought for a moment, patted me on the shoulder, and laughed heartily, "Good man! You're so much fun! As soon as we met, we were able to penetrate into my soul and heart β to know me as well as an old friend. Good! Good! Good! That's great! What's your name? If you don't think I'm a thief, you're a friendβI'm in Memphis! β
I struck him lightly on the chest with my fist, and I was also delighted at this rough and elegant man with extraordinary knowledge, and I couldn't help but smile on my face, and said, "My name is Alexander. St. Karen. Domines, call me Alex! β
"Hehe, Alex! Yours is it! Seeing that you are not very old, but you have such sword skills, and the strength of the swordsman is not far behind! That's amazing! How old are you? β
"Imaginary Seventeen." I said.
Memphis nodded, shook his head again, and sighed after a while: "What a young man! With such attainments at such a young age, and also practicing magic, I really don't understand how you do it! Alex, you will surely shine on the continent of Shenglun! β
So under the unobjection of Mr. Vitan, the frightened silence of Bernini, and the silence of Vivien, I called Memphis to the shop and sat down. Sitting in the dwarf's narrow drawing-room, the pain of Memphis was something that only I could deeply understand, it was hard enough to be like me, and Memphis, who was taller than me, could only sit with his head bowed and hunched over his body carefully with his butt next to the bench that seemed to be about to collapse, the image was both comical and pitiful.
"Memphis, how did you end up in Nagwi? Even if your reputation as 'Death Hurricane' is very powerful, it would be too arrogant for you to enter the city alone, right? I asked.
"Hehe, I'm going into the city this time mainly to buy some supplies," Memphis said as he touched his beard, "Besides, I'm running out of throwing knives, so I'm going to build a batch of ...... Otherwise, it will be difficult to say whether you and I will win or lose...... Alex! And my 'hurricane' is here, most of them are stationed outside the city, and only a few of the people have infiltrated the city in groups. β
"Really? Didn't the robbers just grab it? Do you have to pay out of your own pocket? β
"Because we have to buy everyday goods, we can only buy them from civilians...... We don't rob civilians, it's too tasteless and too spineless! We're no ordinary robbers! β
"Hehe, robbers still have handouts and ...... on identity and taste Besides," I said, glaring at Bernini, "how can you find him to make weapons?" β
Hearing my words, Bernini said indignantly: "What? Is my workmanship poor? Although the surface is rough spots...... But it's better than practicality, no tricks, and the flying knives I make are guaranteed to be sharp and bloodless! And Alex, do you know how to respect the elderly? If I'm a hundred years younger, I'll beat you up!" Hey, it's a pity that I'm old and weak now, otherwise, don't talk about you, a stinky boy, I don't care about the 'hurricane of death'! β
Memphis and I were noncommittal, but Vivien said softly, "Uncle Bernini, that's not what Alec meant. He's too young to speak, so don't mind, uncle. β
Listening to Vivien's words, Bernini's face immediately turned bright as if by magic, and he said to me, "This time, for Vivian's sake, I won't bother with you kid. Then he muttered to himself, "Really, how could such a good girl take such a fancy to such a bad boy!" If I were five hundred years younger, it would be your turn to be a kid......"
Vivien's face was embarrassed by Bernini's words, and we were a little laughing. Once again, I marveled at Vivien's charm.
I suddenly tightened my eyes and said, "Your real purpose in entering the city this time should be more than that, right?" β
After listening to my words, the look on Memphis's face flickered, and after a while, he said: "I can't hide it, the main purpose of my entry into the city this time is to rob my relatives. β
"Kissing?" Hearing this unexpected answer, a strange look appeared on our faces.
Memphis nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "I'm here this time for Sasarin, the daughter of Adler, a wealthy merchant from Nagwi. β
"Robbers rob relatives! I can't imagine that this kind of funny thing could happen in Nagvi. Teacher Vitan muttered to himself. Why? Is Adler's daughter beautiful? Bernini asked.
"Yes...... In my heart, she is the most beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world......" The rough Memphis had a rare tenderness in his tone at this time.
"Brother Memphis, how did you meet?" Vivien asked curiously.
"Once, Sashaline was traveling with her father's caravan to the province of Dak City on the west bank, and on the way back, she was attacked by another sand bandit while passing through the 'Reaper'...... In the more than ten days that I disguised myself as a wandering mercenary to escort Sasarin back to Nagwe, Sasarin and I fell in love...... Sasarin is a very innocent, kind and beautiful woman, so I can't help but fall in love with her...... And she still wants to be with me even after she knows who I really am. But his father found out about this, and not only said that the United Defense Forces wanted to arrest me, but also held a martial arts party in the city for his daughter, and I came in a hurry after receiving the news. β
"So you're going to go into the city to grab your relatives? Sacharine is so happy, to have a man who loves her so much as you risk his life to come to her......" Vivien said movingly, perhaps moved by Memphis's infatuation, she had changed her bad impression of Memphis, and became less afraid of him.
"No matter how difficult it is, I'm going to rescue Sacharin! I will never allow her to marry any man but me! Memphis said excitedly, unconsciously clenching his fists.
"Now that the coalition forces are heavily stationed in Nagwe, it is not easy for you to safely rescue a person and try to get out of the way." Bernini said.
"Hmph, that class of wine bags and rice bags don't put in my Memphis eyes at all, but...... It will be difficult to successfully rescue Sacharin under heavy care......" Memphis shook his head helplessly.
"Then are you going to make a move during the recruitment of relatives and martial arts?" I asked.
Memphis nodded and said, "Yes, Adler will always let Sasarin show up in the finals, and then I will launch the infiltrated forty iron horsemen to cause chaos, and then I will take advantage of the chaos to take Sasarin away." β
After Memphis finished speaking, I said coldly: "Memphis, you are too reckless! Don't you think that this recruiting party is a trap set up for you? β
Hearing my words, Memphis Huo Ran changed color, seemed to be greatly shaken, and was speechless for a while. Instead, Vivien said with concern: "Alec, is this recruitment fake?" β
I glanced at Memphis and replied, "It's true to recruit relatives, and it's real to trap you!" Through the Recruiting Society, Adler was able to find a capable son-in-law, who had to travel in the desert all year round and needed a skilled henchman to escort the goods. Of course, the main purpose is to lure Memphis out with his daughter! After all, you are the worst enemy of the desert merchants, and the nightmare in the hearts of the rich merchants. Take this opportunity to kill you, not only to avoid the scourge of the future, but also to make Sacharin dieβthis is Adler's wishful thinking! β
Memphis nodded and said, "Alex, you are really a mirror of people's hearts!" The view and analysis of things are much clearer than I am as a client! What a terrible talent it is to be able to see things as they are from my account at once! I'm so happy with you, I'm glad I didn't become your enemy in the first place...... Then I won't be able to succeed this time?! β
I shook my head and said, "There's still something to be done......
"Alex! Would you like to help me? Memphis said eagerly.
"Alex, are you really willing to help?" Teacher Vitan and Vivien asked incredulously, after all, this was very different from what I was used to.
I nodded slightly and said, "I'm willing to help you, but I have to figure out a few questions before I promise to help." First of all, is Sasarin willing to give up everything and leave with you? β
Mr. Vitan, Vivien, and Bernini couldn't imagine that I would ask such a question, and they all looked stunned.
Memphis replied firmly, "She does!" I know she does! I can assure you! She had already made it clear to me that she was willing to accompany me to the ends of the world, but she had to give an account to her parents. Sasarin promised me to go back and make it clear to my father, and she would follow me to settle in the desert...... But she is so naΓ―ve and pure! Once she returned to Nagvi, she was placed under house arrest by her father and forced to marry someone she had never met...... I was also carried away by love at the time, and I didn't think about the consequences, otherwise, I wouldn't have let her go back......"
I stared into his eyes and said, "I trust your promise!" Because you can come to her at all costs, and I believe that she is a woman who deserves your life to cherish! Now the second question is β how did you get into the city so easily and unnoticed? After all, your figure and appearance are too conspicuous, and you can't escape the eyes of those who have a heart! β
"This is one of my stunts, derived from an ancient martial art called yoga, which can shrink my body into an ordinary person through the displacement of muscles and bones, and then put on a cloak to cover my face, and others will not notice me."
"Is it possible to lengthen the figure? Is this stunt hard to learn? β
"Yes...... It is not difficult to learn, it may be difficult for ordinary people, but for martial artists, they are familiar with the movement of muscles, as long as they understand the method and continue to practice it. β
I sighed and said, "That's a lot easier......
"Alex, do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you...... But you want to think of a way to save Sasarin for me......"
I smiled faintly and said, "Of course you have to learn, in order to save your Sacharin...... That's not the price I'm asking for, though! β
Memphis said eagerly, "What price do you ask, Aray?" As long as I can save Sasarin, I am willing to give everything! β
I said, "That's the last question I'm going to ask you!" - Are you willing to be a robber all the time? Would you like your wife to live with you in precarious, terrified nights, and life-threatening at any time? β
"This ...... I don't want to, but do I have a choice? Memphis looked a little gloomy.
I stood up solemnly, my hands held high, and my whole body exuded a powerful and fierce momentum, and everyone was intimidated by my momentum.
Then I said: "My husband is to make contributions and achieve a vigorous career, but how can he do things like rats and dogs for the rest of his life?" What if I offered you such an opportunity? What if I told you that I have the power to turn the tide of trouble, put an end to a thousand years of strife, create the most glorious era in the history of SΓ£o Lun, and create an era of prosperity that has never been seen before! β but it may come at the cost of blood! So, Memphisβwill you follow me and make history with me?! β
Memphis pondered for a moment and replied, "I believe in you, Alex!" You have the qualifications and conditions to become a king! You will surely blow a fresh gale and sweep the whole continent in this suffocating era! Being able to follow in the footsteps of the king is my lifelong wish as a man! When Sacharim's affairs are settled, I will give my life to you, my king Alexander! β
"Good!" I stretched out my right hand and raised it flat in front of my forehead, and Memphis stood up and made the same motion, and then our palms clapped together in the air with a crisp sound, and an ancient oath ceremony was completed.
At this time, I saw that Vivien was already in tears at the exciting scene in front of me, and Mr. Vitan's expression flickered, while Bernini muttered to himself with a sad face, "I miss it...... Those heroic years of Auth! It's like today......"
