The gazes of Earl Walker and Baron Zax collided fiercely with each other, like two strong currents in a complex hedge, this was a silent exchange, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

The two men were foot to foot and shoulder to shoulder, Earl Walker held the scabbard in one hand and the hilt of the Frost Sword in the other, and Baron Zax held the two sharp battle daggers at his waist with both hands. Although at this moment, the two did not have any actual confrontation, but the terrible silence here was a sixth sense that was difficult to let go, as if the sword soldiers had not been seen, but the hall was already full of sword light and afterimages.

The terrible silence was broken by a crisp "smack".

Zax Sharp suddenly pulled out two battle daggers and jumped forward, the blade of the battle dagger met Earl Walker's face and flicked it, Earl Walker drew his sword and dialed the handle, and the back of the sword firmly blocked the sharp blade of the battle dagger.

"This sword is what I am telling you of the wanton insult you once offered to me with all sincerity." Zax pushed his sword back sharply, landing steadily, his figure as fast as lightning.

"Oh, I wasn't very clear-headed at that time. I can only tell you that I, the master of the land of Yafen, have come out of the shadow of my past failures, otherwise I would not have broken into the tiger's den today, knowing that this is a dangerous tiger's den. Earl Walker clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, and his feet slid back under the force of Zax's sword, his eyes always catching Zax's wolf-like gaze - Zax's window to his mind at this time.

"Hmph, you walked out of the shadows in style! But today, I have to be carried out by my people sadly. Because it's you! You were the one who had made me sink deep into the black shadows that hung over my family's head! A tragic guy abandoned by the king. Zax's pace was like the wind, he quickly rushed into the frost sword that wanted to take the initiative to open the hem of Earl Walker, Earl Walker seemed to have read Zax's intention from his eyes, he did not fight with Zax, but quickly raised his sword to let Zacks pass the first round of false sword strikes, and when Zax turned around and was about to use his usual roundabout blow, the back of the Frost Sword on the hem of the sword only made a blocked "ding" sound under Earl Walker's calm blocking, and the attack of the whirling slash was resolved in an instant.

"It's a great accurate block! This sword is your compensation for the humiliation that you have inexplicably suffered for me in prison for two years! But it's already quite cheap for you. The moment Baron Zax's whirling sword blade was blocked, his entire body began to turn rapidly, and the movements of spinning and retracting the sword were extremely fast, and they were so clean that there was no shaking. The sword dance is even more flawless.

"You may not know, Zax Sharp. My teacher, Lawrence, made a point of mentioning you in front of me at the end of the day. I know that I have been used by King Segal Saxon, and I am ready to release you from the dark dungeon of Yafin, and do everything I can to compensate you for all the losses you have suffered for the past two years. To my complete surprise, you escaped from the dungeon with my traitor Reysatt Don. Earl Walker's dark golden curls and dark brown eyes kept looking at Zax Sharp, "At least I'll let you swagger out of Yafen." ”

"Compensation? Compensation for my brother Bill's life? That's a good idea. But you can't afford to compensate for it! A good one that at least let me swagger out of Yafenburg? In this way, your Yafen soldier is indeed more fragile than the other, like a headless fly that only worries me. I know what you mean, I deserve a good thank you! Thank you for your belated generosity - you figured it out, what good bandit logic. All right! That's enough! I don't want to say any more nonsense! Baron Zax's gaze shot the killer light of the Jungle Wolf, and a dark shadow seemed to be attached to him, "This blow, just give me my life!" ”

"Apparently that's just wishful thinking on your part." Time seemed to slow down in Earl Walker's eyes, and in front of his eyes, Zax just slammed his twin swords backwards, taking a sprint step, looking like he was about to stab with the tips of his twin swords after sacrificing his life.

"Can you read it?" Zax's left hand, the tip of the short sword suddenly changed direction under the slight movement of Zax's wrist, and the rapid retraction of the sword turned into a quick reverse sweep, and the swing of the sword with his right hand swept towards Earl Walker's abdomen and neck.

"I'm not the same person I was that night! Of course I can catch it. Earl Walker saw Zax's small movements clearly, he collided forward with Zax's sword, and the frost sword clenched in both hands swung a simple diagonal sweep, only two crisp blade snapping sounds, and the battle short sword that Zax held with both hands broke instantly, and a thick layer of ice had condensed where the short sword broke.

The crisp sound was followed by a dead silence, and Earl Walker and Baron Zacks were just back-to-back, heel-to-heel.

"Damn!" Zax gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, and he dropped two battle daggers with only hilts left.

"You've lost, man blinded by hatred. You've lost completely! Earl Walker coldly swung his sword with his backhand, and the flickering frost sword was already coldly resting in front of Zax's neck, "I also saw my shadow from you, I know that you are not afraid of death, if you are afraid of death, you will not be able to survive until now." I just want to tell you - I don't want to kill you at all, I'm not an enemy of your Sharp. ”

"Hmph—aw." Baron Zax sighed, he slumped in the chair behind him, "It's so pale to say now, you go, Walker Easttem." I don't think I have anything worth talking to you about. Communication is like an invisible wall between the two of us. But I admit that the feud between House Sharp and your House Easttime is over. ”

"But why did you prepare delicious food for a Knight of Offenburg named Rogge?" Earl Walker put away his sword and sat down across from Zax, "Now that we're not communicating properly, our duel has broken through the invisible barrier that once stood between us. ”

"But when I knew that Rogge, the knight of Yafen, was you, the hatred that suddenly rose in my heart had dispelled everything I could think of." Zax spread his hands, he didn't want to see Count Walker's direct gaze, "It's ridiculous that I'm talking to you face to face in my own castle saying these cool words. I didn't expect that my Sharp family would fall to such a point. ”

"Zax Sharp, I never thought you were a backsliding. You and I are full of pride in our bones, not to mention that now we are all nails in the eyes of the king that need to be removed. Aren't you and I being like-for-arms? Besides, I heard you right—the feud between my Sharp family and your family Easthem is over. Earl Walker grasped the slumped glass on the round table, "If I don't mind, not only will I settle the fight with you face to face, but I will also have to drink the wine you have prepared for me, the Siscont wine will satisfy my appetite." ”

"Hmph, Walker Easttem, don't think of me here as your castle, this is not Easttim's House, it's Sharp's House. Even now I admit that you are just a visitor to my castle. Zax's wolf-like gaze gradually disappeared in front of Earl Walker, and he also grabbed the wine glass on the round table, and drank it with Siscont red wine, "If you think that wine is not poisonous, please feel free to do so." ”

"Why do I think so? Besides, your wine is on the round table for the sake of Knight Rogge. This is not a Saxon castle either. Earl Walker's dark brown eyes regained a warm light, and he uncorked the Siscont red wine on the round table, leaned close to his nose and sniffed deeply, "This fine wine must be used to entertain distinguished guests." My pseudonym doesn't seem to be bad for you. ”

"At least it's a lot better than your own name." The corners of Baron Zaxsharp's mouth finally showed a slight smile.

"You can only think of me as Knight Rog now. If that's what you're smiling about – you're welcome at Sharp House. Earl Walker extended a calloused hand to Baron Zax, "If you want such a close touch." ”

"Hmph." The corners of Zax's eyes were no longer covered with red bloodshots, his eyes were blue again, the slightly white row of neat teeth showed the gap between his lips, with an elegant facial expression, he finally grabbed Walker's outstretched hand in the palm of his hand like Earl Walker, "Maybe we should eat something, talk about something." Please, knives and forks are right in front of each other, this roast turkey is a great game in the Sharpe Mountain region. ”

"I also hope that the roast turkey from Sharp Hill will be on the market in Jafenburg." Earl Walker took off his chainmail gloves, threw them on the round table, grabbed his knife and fork and began to feast on Baron Zax. The candles lit on the surrounding silver menorah no longer flickered with flames that could be extinguished at any moment, nor did the light in the small castle of Sharp House.

"It's really a person who has woken up, and it's really right to the point when it comes to key issues. That's a great idea that came to my mind before I duel again. Your new Lawrence Law has undoubtedly paved the way for our future cooperation. Instead of picking up the glass this time, Zax grabbed the Saskant bottle.

"Weaken the ambitious Segal Saxon, maybe this roast turkey is a good dish." Earl Walker also grabbed the bottle of Siscont, "The red wine is like my blood." ”

"That's what you said. Walker Easttham. I will drink the red wine that flows like your blood. Cheers. After the two finished speaking, they raised the bottle and drank the juice from the bottle. Their faces were slightly red, just like the red morning glow next to the newborn morning sun.
