"Jost, what was it just now?"

In the Lynx, the second brother of Jill, who is in charge of cargo deployment in Capua's family and is known for his shrewdness, came to talk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's Big Brother You. He said that he hoped to borrow our airship to take him to the empire once. ”

"Ah...... That's not a coincidence. ”

Jill shrugged his shoulders and gave a helpless expression.

It's not that the Capua family doesn't like him or anything, it's really inconvenient now, if he comes three hours earlier to say hello, then nothing will happen.

It had only been three hours before they had accepted Joshua's request to come to Crossbell and take him to the ruins of Hamel. Now, it's almost there.

You can't just leave Joshua behind and turn around, can you? Isn't that a waste of three hours?

"Well, when Joshua is done here, let's ask him. Listening to what he meant, it didn't seem to be in a hurry. ”

Jost smiled, his expression lit up and then dimmed.

"Joshua, what are you going to do there......

The girl's face was solemn and worried.

Because of some coincidences in Liber's mutation, the young girl Jost knew what a heavy past Hamel had for Joshua, and why did he suddenly want to go again?

She couldn't help but turn her bright eyes to the cabin, the black-haired young man who was taking care of his double knives, and the little girl with the orange hair sitting across from him, and the purple-haired girl who was in the association.

Ay......

She sighed loudly and finally gave up thinking. Concentrate on doing what you have to do.

The airship soon landed near the ruins of the village of Hamel.

Because it has been destroyed for a long time, new plants have begun to grow in the ruins, and there are not many places for the airship to dock, so it will take a bit of luck to find it.

Soon, Jost found the spot where he had docked the last time he had brought Joshua here, where the turf had grown almost as much as it had been damaged by the strong winds of the airship landing.

Jost thought to himself, should I make a mark here or something, so that I could bring Joshua over next time.

"Thank you, everyone in Capua."

Joshua thanked everyone with a heavy face.

Following the path of the ruins, Joshua drove to a tomb.

There is my sister who died for herself, and Levi who tested the world for her sister.

The gray and rough tombstone was engraved with eulogies and the names of the deceased, and in front of the tombstone was a bunch of withered white flowers, almost white, and a golden sword broken in two.

Joshua offered a bouquet of fresh white flowers for the two of them, but he did not reach out to pick up the broken sword in front of the tombstone.

"You're here, aren't you...... Come out. ”

Joshua's voice was cold and sharp.

Estelle and Ling reacted almost at the same time, each taking a step back and revealing their weapons, protecting Joshua on the left and on the right.

Thinking about what happened in Liber and the terrorist attack on Joshua, it is not difficult to conclude that Joshua's target of dialogue is this mysterious killer.

Joist and the others were confused and didn't understand what he was talking about, except for the cold wind and the rustling of the trees.

"It's a very simple reasoning, if you're attacking me, it's easy to infer your actions. You, try to ambush me here. ”

"Heh......"

Someone's chuckle came from the forest.

He didn't explain his purpose, nor did he pretend to praise Joshua.

He just walked out of the forest, carrying a golden knife in each hand.

Seeing him out, Ling and Estelle were even more vigilant, Ling secretly put her fingers on the chain of her tactical power guide, and Estelle tightly pinched the stick with both hands, adjusting her body slightly, making herself lie down like a cheetah, so as to quickly exert force.

Joshua's response was somewhat haphazard compared to theirs.

He didn't pose for battle, he straightened up, as if to declare that he had no hostile intentions, he spread his hands evenly, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, even if the goal is my life, let me be a ghost who understands, right?" ”

The first step in the battle is to gather as much information as possible about the other side.

This was taught to him by Yu Chensi.

If you don't know what purpose this person is trying to oppose you, then even if you kill him, there may be a second or third killer coming. The means will also become more and more radical.

"Joshua? Asterlei? ”

The killer spoke.

It was a somewhat hoarse man's voice.

His costume is very much in line with the average person's impression of a killer, from beginning to end, he is dressed in black, close-fitting black power suit, with a black hood on his coat, and a full-coverage black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, which is golden.

Moreover, he exuded a ghostly aura all over his body, which was different from a murderous aura, which could not be eliminated by sacrificing his own life, and it was a resentment that could not be quelled without killing everything related to the name Joshua.

Why does he hate me so much?

Joshua wondered, and in order to elicit more information, he took the initiative to answer his question.

"I've given up that name. My current name is Joshua? Brett. ”

Joshua? Brett.

Joshua? Bright, Joshua? Bright, Joshua Bright, Joshua Bright, Joshua Bright, Joshua Bright, Joshua Bright......

The black-clad killer kept muttering the name, and it looked like a broken gramophone.

This scene was too terrifying, Ling Yi couldn't help it, and threw the golden scythe in her hand with her right hand, and at the same time drove the guiding magic with her left hand, and the purple-black Qiyao veins that symbolized the attributes of the time surged on her.

However, the black-clothed killer reacted faster, only to see him quickly throw the golden knives in both hands, causing them to smash into Ling's scythe like a boomerang.

Two clangs, the sound of steel colliding.

At the moment when he heard the voice, people's attention couldn't help but be attracted by the weapon, and the figure of the black-clothed killer disappeared.

He was extremely fast, like a dark wind, which was almost faster than Yu Tatsumi's movements, and Joshua didn't even see it clearly, and found that he had jumped up to catch the twin knives that had been knocked away by the scythe, and swung two swords in midair, and the crescent-shaped flame knife qi full of scorching power flew towards him.

Seeing that he didn't mean to communicate, Joshua immediately pulled out his double knives and brushed them twice to disperse the sword qi.

At this moment, the black-clad killer had already arrived in front of him, with two knives on top of his head, like a pair of scissors, about to cut off Joshua's head.

At the same time, Ling's magic had been driven, and Ling immediately saw that this person's speed was fast, and instead of driving the big magic, it was harassed by the time-attribute lower-level magic that was known for its "sure hit".

In speed warfare, as long as one side slows down the speed and is distracted for some reason, it is a fatal mistake.

Rei's judgment was correct, and because of this prediction, her magic was able to attack the black-clad killer during Joshua's crisis.

However, the killer responds faster.

The characteristic of time magic is that there is no "time" between the end of the drive and the effect of the attack, and the moment the drive is completed, it is the moment when the attack takes effect. This is also the reason why temporal attribute magic is so well known as "must-hit magic".

And just now, when Ling's magic Soul Xia was released, the black-clothed killer turned over with all his strength in mid-air, and actually forcibly raised half a sub-distance, and Xuan Zhi dodged the attack of the Heart Xia.

In such a flash, the speed of this person's body is really incredible. If the flash is too early, Ling will notice it and modify the attack coordinates. If the flash is slow, then it will definitely be in the air. Outside of Rei's reaction speed, she must dodge the moment the magic is activated. In this way, the dodge time will inevitably be shortened, and the displacement distance is not enough, so you still have to take this trick, but ......

What a terrible speed......

Ling's eyes widened, and she looked at the black-clothed killer blankly, and took the scythe that flew back, and in a trance, she didn't continue to attack.

That's enough, though.

The killer destroyed his offensive because of the dodge, how could Joshua let go of this opportunity, flashed his double blades, and at the same time quietly activated his magic eye, which is a simplified skill of the space forbidden spell, which can greatly limit the space around the opponent and put pressure on him.

However, when the black-clothed killer saw that he had no chance, he broke the cauldron instead, no longer using a knife, his body continued to lean back in the direction of dodging, and at the same time raised his feet and kicked out in a row, each time he kicked Joshua's hand and face, Joshua dialed left and right, and it was always difficult to launch an attack on this close enemy.

"Drink!"

When the battle froze, the girl's shouting voice came, and Estelle raised her stick and hit the black-clad killer. The sticks whistling, the fighting spirit carries the air, and the sound of breaking the wind is terrifying. The black-clothed killer knew that it was powerful, and the soles of his feet stepped on the tip of Joshua's knife, and his body flew upside down more than a dozen times like an arrow, like a black eagle sweeping the ground.

"Estelle ......"

The black-clad killer screamed quietly.

"Who the hell are you! Why do you want to do it to Joshua! What purpose do you have! I arrest you as a guerrilla on the charge of threatening the lives of others! ”

Estelle tried to threaten her, but it was more like Lloyd's police rhetoric.

"Huh...... Me? ”

The pitch-black killer seemed to have heard something funny, and the ghost aura on his body faded a lot. He quietly lowered his two swords, and the golden brilliance lost its previous sharpness.

"I am the executor of the Eater Serpent [Dark Fang]...... You know, Joshua. ”

“…… My successor? ”

Joshua's eyes froze.

"Huh...... Whoever breaks away from the association, I will punish him...... Joshua, do your best to survive. This time, can you protect the people you love? ”

After the black-clothed killer finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared. Only the group was left at a loss for what to do in the face of the slightly cold wind. (To be continued.) )
