Chapter IV

The sound of swords clashing was endless, and in the deserted suburbs, two figures flickered between the cracks in the woods, and the surrounding trees were cut down, and the scratches on the ground showed how fierce the fight was.

"You still haven't changed, this rough way of fighting." The silver-haired young man in a long brown cloak glanced around at the mess, then at his torn cloak, and wiped the blood from the scratches on his face. "It's not like you're fighting with a sword at all, it's like your gun."

"Hehe, after all, it's been a long time, and it's only been a few years since I started using swords, but I can't be as proficient in any weapon as the monsters like the teacher and the sword master. I've been practicing your swordsmanship for so long, so if I want to defeat you, of course, I have to use my strengths. Ike stuck the long sword in his hand on the ground, ignoring the opponent who was still holding the strange shape of the long sword in his hand, and sat down, "It's much more comfortable, I've always been treated as a nurse lately, and it's clear that the object of care is not weak, it's a shame that you and Ling can still pretend to be so similar." ”

"It's you who have nothing to do, don't blame others." Seeing Ike sit down, Levi also put away the long sword in his hand and learned to sit on the ground with Ike "I didn't deliberately hide my strength, Ling's words, that kid is a special case, didn't you kidnap her from us?" ”

"What is abduction, Ling came with me voluntarily." Ike glared at Levi, his eyes a little downcast, "If I hadn't gone out on a mission at that time, I'm afraid Ling wouldn't be what she is now." And if I hadn't gone to the East back then... ”

“。。。 Do you regret it? ”

"How is it possible, I never regret riding a gun and doing things, I just feel a little sorry for Ling."

"Heh, the 'riding spear' that destroyed the enemy back then has become like this, and people are really fickle." Lévy's tone was sarcastic

"You're wrong, I've changed a lot, but I haven't changed about this before, otherwise I wouldn't have taken Ling and Theo to my side and wouldn't let you touch them." Ike didn't care, but replied very seriously, "With you crazy people, even ordinary people will become like you." ”

"Theo is... That girl? When you say this, don't forget that you were also one of the madmen. ”

"Yes, I'm still crazy." Ike's expression became calm, "So fortunately, Ling is fine, otherwise, the current six pillars are probably going to be replaced." ”

“。。。 You really haven't changed, you're still the same annoying guy you used to be. ”

"It's an honor to let the Sword Emperor be named." Ike snorted, "Oh yes, that idiot of mine, I said she beat you once a few months ago, right?" When you can't even beat her. ”

“。。。 When you've been annoyed a hundred times, you will too. Lévy replied with a blank face.

"Is that really the case?" Ike lay on the ground and laughed wildly, "I made a bet with Ling, it's definitely like this." ”

"It's supposed to be your job!" Levi suddenly became angry, "You, as the captain, don't even teach the Iron Cavalry!" ”

"What does it have to do with me, I'm not like Levi, you are handsome with a sword on your back all the time, compared with riding a spear, of course it is more suitable to find the Sword Emperor, after all, that idiot is also a sword." Ike shrugged.

"What kind of crooked reasoning is this!"

"After all, who asked Levi to take this trouble bag, it's not that you feel that you are helped by the teacher on weekdays and want to pay her back."

"Of course, you must repay the favor you receive."

"So, that idiot probably guessed that you wouldn't refuse before he went to you."

"Is it the same everywhere that people are good and are bullied?" Levi smiled helplessly.

"It's clear that you are voluntary, and you look like you are being persecuted. Well, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be my only friend there. ”

"Friends... Doesn't Ling count? ”

"Ling is family, don't mix it up."

"That's right, Ling Cai is not a friend." A lively voice suddenly interjected into the conversation between the two, and jumped over with a plate that he didn't know how to get, and there were two drinks on the plate, and after handing the drinks to the two, Ling hugged Ike's head, "Ling is going to be Ike's bride in the future, so she is not a friend." ”

"Let's get your barren boobs up first." Ike took the drink and drank it down.

"Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time." Levi smiled rarely.

"It's not been a long time, you deliberately didn't recognize Ling when you saw Ling a few days ago." Ling said angrily.

"I'm working with white noodles now." Lévy smiled wryly, "Originally, we should be considered enemies, right?" ”

"No, no, no, Ling hasn't quit the association yet." Ling shook her finger triumphantly.

"What's going on?" Levi was stunned.

"Hehe, Ling has never said that she broke away from the association as openly as I did, and now Ling probably has something to rest. Anyway, the executor has that power, it's like a 'dead line'. Ike sneered, "I can't get along with Bai Mian, so naturally I don't have any dealings, and other executors won't tell me if they know something, so he still doesn't know Ling's state." It can only be said that the guy has too bad personality and bad popularity, and the title of executor on Ling is still there, so he actually chose the executor and picked Ling's head. ”

Ike patted his ass and stood up, picking up the sword stuck in the ground, "That's right, it looks like Joshua's kid is going to perform today."

"Joshua ... He has his way to go now, and he and I are no longer on the same path. ”

"Bullshit, from the beginning you were not a person on the same road, until now it doesn't mean anything to say this, you said that you are a person who has embarked on the path of Shura, but you have not been able to cut off any love, what kind of bullshit Shura, but it's okay, a man like you, why should you go according to their standards, a manly man has never been afraid of anything when he walks his own way, although Joshua's kid was stronger than he is now, but I think he is just a puppet with a white face, although he is a lot weaker now, But at least be able to follow the path of your choice. Who knows what the road will be in the future, when it is clear that our two enemies can sit together, but the brothers have parted ways? Ling! ”

"It's already there." Ling shook Levi's strangely shaped sword in her hand.

"Since he won't come, let's force him to come." Ike put the sword in the scabbard on his back, took Ling's long sword, and disappeared from Levi's sight in twos and threes.

"Farewell, Brother Levy." Ling waved at Levi and disappeared in the direction Ike had left at incredible speed.
