Chapter 20: The Old Man
Russ and Zuston had been back from the Thunder Continent for several days, but there was still no movement from Richter's side, and Russ was upset by Dista's phone call. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, did you have someone to help me find a knife forger?" Richter closed the page and turned back to ask Russ, who was lying on the couch.
"I'm forging." Russ played with his mobile phone and replied casually: "However, if this matter is not done and you have to lose money, it is estimated that there will be no money to settle the bill." ”
"Won't it?" Richter was a little surprised: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"The best blacksmith, believe it or not?" Russ put away her phone and said with a serious face.
Richter was about to say whether he believed it or not, but suddenly, the two of them felt an aura, and their hearts were secretly shocked.
Just outside the door, there was a man who didn't hold back his breath, as if he wanted to let people know.
It's just that the other party didn't break into the door very directly, but this breath made the two of them dare not take the initiative to do anything.
Richter clearly felt that the other party was not deliberately released, but just a very casual gesture, but this force was not in the slightest weakness for someone with a holy coat of arms like Yakumo Xihong. In other words, at this time, there is a person with the highest strength in the Royal Knights.
"Is that how 'ironyoffate' is treated today?" There was a sound outside the door, but the volume was not loud, and the person who came penetrated the door with qi condensation and went straight into the living room.
To be able to use gas to such an extent that Richter had only been able to do it by Zuston alone, that alone was shocking enough.
"Since the guests are here, then please come in." Russ thought about it, since the other party dared to come alone, it meant that the person who came was confident enough in his own strength to be able to accomplish the purpose of his visit.
"Well, please forgive me." After that, the other party directly rushed open the door with his breath, and the aftermath of the breath poured into the living room, making both of them a little unstable.
At this time, the two of them realized the horror of the visitor, although they did not deal with it with all their might, but it was just the aftermath, which was enough to shake their bodies, and the hearts of the two were a little uneasy.
Originally, the two eldest ladies were on vacation today, but fortunately they were taken out by Mu You and Aerys and were not there, otherwise, it might be very dangerous today.
"Did you take something that didn't belong to you?" The person who came seemed to be very familiar with this place, and slowly walked in step by step, and said in a cold voice.
What catches your eye is a handsome young man in casual clothes, who is very similar to Zuston in terms of hairstyle and clothing style.
"I didn't expect Zuston to find such a partner since I left 'ironyoffate'." The young man was very polite and said with a sneer.
"What's the matter?" Russ didn't get angry, just replied coldly.
"Good, no nonsense." The boy took out two glass shards from his pocket and said, "You recognize this, right?" ”
There was no need to recognize him, Russ and Richter understood him very well and came to the mirror.
"I don't really need to recognize it, I just need to know what you mean." Richter looked at the boy with a solemn expression.
"You don't need to do this, don't say you don't have a weapon in your hand, and even if you do, I won't take you two seriously." The boy spoke in the same way as Zuston, which sounded very conceited, but it was convincing.
"Since you said you were once a part of 'ironyoffate', you should know the style of 'ironyoffate' very well." Russ stood up.
A confident teenager like this would not just knock down an opponent with no power to fight back with his bare hands, and Russ is very confident. What's more, Richter didn't have a weapon in his hands, so he had nothing to do.
Suddenly, a great aura pressed over him, and Russ couldn't support it at all, so he sat back on the couch.
"To be correct, I'm not part of it, I'm one of the founders. I'm just here to complete a mission, and I'm not interested in fighting you at all. The young man said provocatively: "What's more, it's not interesting to fight with you at all." ”
The boy walked forward calmly, and when his hand was about to touch the mirror, another terrifying aura came to offset the oppression brought by the boy.
"Albert, are you in such a hurry to leave?" Zuston's voice floated.
"Haha, you kid always comes out at the last minute like a protagonist every time, I know it." The boy named 'Albert' laughed when he heard Zuston's voice.
"Don't you know my rules too?" Zuston walked slowly with a knife in his left hand. "What's more, I haven't fought against you since you disappeared 8 years ago, and I want to see your strength today."
"I've long been proficient in your qi control style, do you believe there is still a possibility to defeat me?" Albert sneered.
"Just because you've made progress doesn't mean I'm standing still." Zuston looked at Albert's back with a fierce look, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "What's more, what I say has never been more than my own confidence?" You have to believe it, too. ”
Albert turned to face Zuston, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the huge fighting qi condensed into the fist in a way that was visible to the naked eye, and it seemed that the fist was emitting a faint orange light.
"Richter, borrow a knife." Zuston sneered, and then spoke as he approached the other with an arrow.
Seeing Zuston's swift, subtle and ruthless way of drawing his sword, Rao was ashamed of Richter, a good knife player.
Zuston's knife didn't make a sound, it didn't have the momentum of an earth-shattering shock, but it was as quiet as death, and even Richter wasn't sure if he saw it in a shocking flash.
However, Albert seemed to have become accustomed to Zuston's tactics, and did not care, pressing his right hand on the blade with unmistakable precision. In the last moment, Albert's calm response made Russ and Richter wonder if the two had been discussed and rehearsed for their performances.
However, that terrible way of condensing the fighting spirit has to make people believe that this is a life-and-death confrontation.
The two did not have earth-shattering spirit, just a bland fight, but it was also a moment of life and death. There is nothing more thrilling than this kind of encounter, everything begins and ends in calm.
The two are not in a hurry to meet for the second time, the simple exchange just now has already given some simple information to the other party, and both sides are reevaluating each other.
Zuston seems to be full of gaps, but Albert knows very well that with Zuston's fighting style, all gaps are just a matter of character.
If Zuston wanted to, he would have absolutely sure that he would have sealed all his spaces perfectly, leaving no one to start. Therefore, Albert has only one option, and that is to break down the Jeuston defence.
Albert really didn't expect that after 8 years of continuous hard training, he would still lose to Zuston 8 years ago.
Zuston doesn't usually use weapons, and it should be said that for Zuston, weapons are just toys, in Zuston's words, "just play with them." ”
However, in the same style as 8 years ago, Zuston was in this state of play that made Albert difficult to start.
"It's been 8 years, and your progress isn't beyond my budget." Zuston seems casual, however, the opposite side is an opponent who has to be cautious, and Zuston does feel very casual.
Zuston knew Albert's thoughts very well, but he was by no means as easy as he thought.
If it was really himself 8 years ago, Zuston would have lost the fight just now.
Albert seemed to be holding off the blade, but the power that came from the knife to his hand still terrified Zuston.
It's not easy, and Zuston knows that the other party must have put in unimaginable efforts in the past 8 years to get to where he is today.
Looking back on the past 8 years, only doing what I want to do and living a casual life, perhaps, attitude determines everything.
Albert and Zuston had been facing off for a long time, but neither of them had made a move. It was just a stalemate, and many different thoughts and ideas flew through both of them.
In the end, Albert dissipated the fighting spirit condensed in his fist, released his clenched fist, put down the two pieces of glass he had just taken out, and walked straight to the door.
While rubbing shoulders with Zuston, Albert whispered, "Today, I am not your opponent, but next time, I will definitely take back what I lost today." "With that, he walked away without looking back.
Although the voice was low, the heavy words echoed in the living room, which was so silent that even the sound of breathing was almost absent, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Being entangled by such an enemy is perhaps the greatest misfortune of 'ironyoffate'.
However, such an enemy did not overshadow Zuston's thunderous tactics just now.
When everything was calm, Zuston returned the knife to the sheath and handed it to Richter. Richter took it from Zuston in silence, and at this time Richter had a heavy heart in his heart.
I thought I was strong enough, but since I joined 'ironyoffate', I've been working hard and getting stronger. I thought that I could really be called one of the main combat forces.
Today, however, Richter is well aware that, even with a weapon in his hand, he still has a defenseless gap between himself and Albert as a child and an adult.
Richter and Russ watched Zuston tidy up the messy hall, not knowing what they could do or what else they could say.
There was an atmosphere of almost awkwardness in the air, and the two stepped forward to tidy up the hall with Zuston, but neither of them broke the silence.
It was as if a sudden estrangement had arisen between his closest companions, which made Zuston feel very uncomfortable......
