Chapter Seventy-One: Faith

There is a small boat docked on the beach, and there is a string of footprints on the beach, and the footprints are dense, so it can be judged that it was not left by one person.

Ain carried Thor and headed towards the island.

Thor's face was pale, his steps were vain, and he stepped on the sand one step deeper and shallower.

Fighting the former Admiral Warring States head-on, of course, it is not so easy to get out of the way.

"Stinky old man, it's really merciful, I knew that I would have beaten him directly into the sea, anyway, there are so many navies on the warship, it is estimated that he will not be able to drown."

Thor rubbed his chest and bared his teeth.

Ain had a bitter face, the person she feared and hated the most was Thor.

It's the limit to come out alone with him this time, I didn't expect that at this time, this guy was still so close to him, and even most of his body was pressed on her.

It made her feel like she had eaten a fly.

"Would you like to give me a knife? I'm in a state of weakness right now, and this kind of opportunity is hard to come by. ”

Thor suddenly whispered in Ain's ear, and then, seeing Ain shiver with his own eyes, his eyes lit up and went out, and finally he just lowered his head and didn't say a word, still holding most of Thor's body.

A smile tugged at the corner of Thor's mouth.

"It's a pity, if I use your ability at this time, I should be hit at once, after all, I'm so close, and I'm so weak, I definitely can't dodge. And then facing me when I was just a teenager, don't you have a good chance of winning? ”

Listening to Thor's bewitching voice, Ain gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

"It's really not ......"

Thor continued to speak, quickly speechless.

"Are you annoyed, will you die if you are quiet for a while?"

Ai Yin, who couldn't bear it, broke out directly, but gave Thor a stunned look.

Thor obediently shut up, Ain scolded in pieces, and continued to take Thor on his way.

After a long time, Thor suddenly whispered, "You just scolded me?" ”

Al Yin froze, as if struck by lightning.

The town of Misty Island is not very large, and the central square is the central location for the festival to be held.

There are three streets around the square that lead out of town, and every night for three days, the streets are full of food and entertainment, and vendors of all sizes rely on this opportunity to make money.

There are a lot of people on the street, ordinary families, just take their children and stroll through the crowd.

If the children in the crowd can eat a takoyaki, it will definitely be very satisfying.

The high-ranking officials and nobles of the upper class rode in horse-drawn carriages, with guards in front and behind to open the way, and went to the land of wind and snow.

A sharp-eyed man with a knife appeared on the road, and he was followed by a woman with an umbrella, which was very eye-catching.

The woman was very active, squeezing over to the left to take a look, and the right side was on tiptoe to see. It seemed like the first time I'd seen something so strange.

Many men looked at the shadow with greed, such a beautiful woman, even those singers in the town, couldn't compare.

It's just that many people only dare to look at such a stunning first glance when they see the terrifying big knife on the man's back.

On the other side, Klockdahl came with his right-hand man all the way.

"Idiot, don't you have long eyes?"

A fat man touched Klockdahl as he passed by, and immediately turned his head to point at Klockdahl and scolded.

"Huh?"

Klockdahl stopped, glancing at him.

The latter was immediately frightened, but he couldn't put it down, and still pointed at Klockdahl and said in a trembling voice, "You...... What do you want? Don't you know that I'm the only son of General Mitsuhide? Provoke me, you don't want to live! ”

Burst~

One arm flew up, spun in the air a few times before falling to the ground.

The severed hand was still in the posture of pointing at a person.

The fat man was stunned for two seconds, and then the voice of the ghost crying wolf rang out.

Then, within a dozen seconds, a group of black-armored warriors turned the two of them around.

"Let's go and see how the young master is!!"

The samurai who took the lead broke out in a cold sweat.

They were the secret guards of this fat man, and they surrounded him when he had an argument with this man at the beginning, but they didn't expect the other party to shoot so quickly!!

He stared closely at the man dressed as a warrior monk, the man who cut off the young master's arm with a single stroke of his hand.

The young master was injured under their noses, and they would never be able to escape responsibility......

………………

People on the street rushed towards a street, as if something had happened.

Thor glanced in the direction of the crowd, and then followed the flow of people without hurrying.

In a singer's courtyard, someone brought news that someone had killed someone, and for a while, many people ran out to join in the fun.

"Miss, it's not peaceful outside tonight, you have to be careful."

An old servant knocked on the door and reminded in a low voice.

"Hmm."

A woman's voice came from the room, and there was no more to it after just one sound.

Through the door and window, the old servant could see the shadow of the young lady sitting in front of the dresser, and he relieved himself and turned away.

In the room, there was only one candle flame emitting a faint light source.

A woman in a bright red kimono sits at a dresser.

She swiped her index finger, stained with red liquid, on her mouth, her lips bright as blood.

Looking at her stunning appearance in the mirror, the woman smiled charmingly.

Under the table behind her, a man in a pointed hat fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest......

………………

Misty Island, Ueda Castle.

Ueda Castle is a dictatorship that is separated from the world government and does not accept the presence of a navy.

Along with the town that never sleeps, it was led by the samurai of Ueda Castle.

And the commander of the samurai is Mitsuhide, who is known as the undefeated general.

Mitsuhide was originally a ronin, but was elected as the leader by the crowd for fighting off pirates who robbed the town.

Ten years ago, he personally formed a samurai army, declared his independence from the command of a great power, and became a warlord from then on.

"Will ...... Checkmate! General, oh no!! ”

A samurai stumbled in and knelt in front of a tall, thin middle-aged man.

"Why are you so presumptuous?"

The middle-aged man wearing a kimono and a sword hanging from his waist had an aura of not being angry and arrogant, and the question at this time made the samurai tremble.

"What's wrong?"

General Mitsuhide asked with a frown.

The samurai he led have always been brave and good at fighting, and their style is tough, how could there be such an indecent behavior.

The samurai also knew that he was rude, took two deep breaths, calmed his emotions, and said, "General, the young master was attacked in the town, and his arm was cut off, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead!" ”

"What??? What about the guards? And what about the thirty elite guards? ”

General Mitsuhide was shocked and grabbed the samurai by the collar and shouted angrily.

"Protecting ...... Bodyguard...... All of them were killed......"

The samurai, who had finally calmed down, said tremblingly.

General Mitsuhide's face was pale, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, and he shook off the samurai and scolded angrily, "Waste! It's all a bunch of rubbish! ”

"Pass my military orders! Send me an army to surround the town! Be sure to find out the murderer!! ”

"Yes!!"

………………

"Kill ~ kill ~ kill ~ "

The town was in a panic.

The temple fair, which was originally lively and lively, suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.

The screams of adults, the cries of children......

Just now, I just went over to join in the fun, thinking it was just a brawl of one or two people, but I didn't expect twenty or thirty people to die in one afternoon!

Thor sat on the roof of the house and watched as the crowd below crowded and trampled on each other, and soon even more chaos erupted.

He watched as a delicate woman pushed down a crying child in front of him, and then ran backwards with the child in her shoes. None of the people behind stopped to pull up the child whose screams were getting weaker and weaker, but just ran with the flow of people in a panic.

In the face of fear and life and death, humanity is exposed.

Thor grabbed Ain, who was about to go down.

"What? Let go of me, that kid is going to die!! ”

Ain frowned and struggled, but unfortunately Thor didn't let go, but smiled and said, "Save people?" Who do you think you are? You're a pirate. ”

"Even if it's a pirate, can't you save people?"

Ain shouted angrily at Thor. In her opinion, the identity of the rescuer is not just whether it is a pirate or a navy.

Aren't there any good pirates?

Because of this delay, the child's voice was completely inaudible.

"Hahaha...... Did I hear me right? Save? How do you save? Tell the crowd to stop? Will they listen to you? Or will they be repulsed? What if someone gets trampled on again? Or, because you prevent them from fleeing for their lives, what if they are killed by a murderer who catches up? Besides, there are so many people, there must be more than this little ghost who was lost with his family who was trampled on, so how can you save those people? Are you sure you're saving someone? ”

Ain's face suddenly turned pale, and the strength of her struggle vanished.

She hesitated.

Thor pulled the distracted Al Ain and sat her down beside him.

"Don't be fooled by the illusion in front of your eyes, you know? If you kill ten people in order to save one person, then you are not saving people, you are killing people. ”

With a smile, Thor looked at the lost Al Ain, and continued, "People's life and death are predestined, and those fools who shout that my life is up to me are all people who only appear in the script. Those who sacrifice themselves for others and are righteous and awe-inspiring are deliberately exaggerated by the media. Believe it or not, those people who have an explosive sense of justice, those guys who shout all day long about how to be morally righteous, there are a lot of people down there. Do you think they are really that righteous at this moment? Will it still be as righteous as it boasts in its daily life? ”

Thor reached out and pinched Ain's chin and turned her head to make her look at a chaotic crowd.

"You see, that guy is a teacher, and several children have just greeted him, and he has responded kindly to them one by one. But now you see, he shook off the hand of a little girl who grabbed the corner of his clothes and ran for his life. What will happen to the little girl who was separated from her family? Was it pushed down by someone and then trampled to death, or was it chased and killed by a murderer? What about the teacher's benevolence and morality? What about his role model? Didn't he give these things to the students? Hey, hey, hey...... That's what it is...... Human nature. ”

Al Yin trembled.

"No, no, the teacher taught us...... The Navy is just, and justice is to protect ......"

"Justice? Navy? Ridiculous words. Surely you have forgotten that Zefa wanted to destroy the New World in the end? Who is there in the new world? Navy? Pirate? Ordinary people? Is this the justice you seek? The Navy is just? ”

Thor leaned into Ain's ear and whispered, "I heard that there is a military order in the navy called the Demon Slayer Order. It is a concentrated artillery attack on a place by several third-class warships, which can destroy an island. Well, over the years, the Navy has more or less launched several demon slaying orders, excuse me. There are a lot of people on an island, are those damned people? That's how the Navy wants to protect the weak? ”

"Ah~~!?"

Al Yin suddenly screamed, clasped her hands to her ears, and cried "Don't say it again, don't say it again...... That's not true...... That's not true...... Say no more......"

The justice she had insisted on for more than a decade completely collapsed at this moment.

Although she was still making a final rebuttal, it all pale in comparison.

Thor rubbed his stinging ear, took a sip of the gourd, and just looked at her and smiled.

It was all going as he expected.

From the moment Al Yin saw the child moved with compassion, she was caught by Thor.

As for the teacher's child, it's all made up by Saul.

Anyway, in this crowded and chaotic place, they didn't know anyone when they first arrived, so they could say whatever he wanted.

That is to say, the man is the father of a child, and it is okay for him to abandon his child and run away when he is in danger.

The reason why Thor is called the Ghost King is not because of his strong combat power.

It's because of his ruthless style and scheming.

How can you really defeat a person, not knock him down or kill him.

Rather, it is to defeat him psychologically.

It's like there are a lot of countries in the world, there are a lot of armies.

In those armies, there must be an order to go down, and there is an existence that goes to death with emotion knowing that it will die.

It's not something complicated, it's because those people have faith in their hearts.

Like why Ain has always been obsessed with killing Thor.

That's because she hasn't given up her faith in justice, and she hasn't forgotten that she is a navy. He didn't forget that his teacher died at the hands of Saul.

However, many things that cannot be seen are often the easiest to shatter and disappear.

Once faith is lost, many end up differently.

The army that lamented that it was dying is gone, and the hatred of dormant revenge will dissipate......
