Act II: Guns Beyond the Earth II

"Guns, that spear has a weird ......"

I don't know who shouted. The space next to the spear in Akane's hand shattered, like glass, revealing the original face of the azure spear, the body of the spear as green as an emerald, and the two bolts of lightning intertwined, pulling a bright arc along the long blade, ricocheting Jonon's corpse away, bringing out a string of dirty blood. As if even the air was silent and frozen, the Cruz nobles subconsciously shut their mouths - the previous shot fell on everyone's eyes differently, but everyone clearly saw that the spear pierced the line of law, although Jonon's sword did block Akane's spear, but the spear stabbed Jonon's chest from another world, as if the two were intertwined.

This scene has been sung repeatedly in Cangzhi's poems.

The creation myth that comes from the Cruz people-

Guns beyond the earth.

"This is the master's marksmanship." Owena said proudly: "The meaning of its existence is to break the established order and bring a new future to this world." But when she saw Akane open her eyes and was looking at her hand in a daze, as if she hadn't reacted at all to the previous shot after reminiscing, she couldn't help but feel lonely and lonely: "It's a pity, for you, you still can't understand the greatness of it, it has never existed in the past history, it is unique." ”

"I—I still don't understand something......," Akane frowned, she still couldn't understand what was happening at that moment before, she only felt that the sky in her hand seemed to have torn some established law, and hit the target that would not have been possible to hit unreasonably. In fact, even this feeling was a bit of a shadow for her, as if a shot had been stabbed and killed an enemy, but it felt like a fluke.

The principle is simple, because following conventional logic is not necessarily true in itself. It's like the value-oriented concepts of good and evil, right and wrong—" Owena suddenly noticed the misty expression of the mountain girl, and realized that she seemed to be playing the harp to the cow, sighed, and had to make a long story short: "Let's put it this way, in general. Whether the attack hits or not, depends on the judgment of both sides, but the key factor is nothing more than strength and balance, this is a set of established rules, as if two people play a game, you come and go within the rules of the game, but the firmament's spear skills are to break this rule, the rules of the world are no longer applicable to it, and its attack follows a set of self-contained laws. This set of rules takes precedence over the normal 'rules of the game', so mortals will never be able to dodge the attack of the Azure Spear when dodging under the normal rules. ”

The Cruz nobles were reacting from their shock, so Owena had to speed up her speech. Akane noticed this, and with some difficulty, withdrew her spear and regained her defensive posture, but she still asked, "What about ...... What is the law? ”

Owena's voice was unequivocal.

"Effect before cause."

Babaan finally reacted, but he would rather not react for the rest of his life. Because that feeling is like being drenched in a basin of snow water from the head, and it is cold to the soles of the feet. The Eruin unearthed the Azure Spear from beneath Ampesel. and handed it over to the Buga people, this kind of thing could not be concealed, so Princess Griffiin never concealed it, in fact, in order to bring disaster to the east, she also took the initiative to spread the news under Brando's advice. And it's hard not to notice the name of Count Tonigel in the whole process, after all, Ampesel was the brightest star in the battle against Brando. Moments later, the Holy Spear Firmament was unearthed from under the city, and if it had nothing to do with him, it would only lead to unwarranted suspicion.

The Spear of Transcendence, a name repeatedly mentioned in this poem of the Firmament, mythically says it can pierce through the world. Even ignoring the law, the scene in front of him happened in front of him, and then connected with Akane's identity, as well as the qiē that happened between Eruin and Buga, if Babaan still doesn't understand that he, like other Cruz people, was played by Buga and Brando, then he is really a real fool.

But he thought about this clearly, and then thought about another point clearly, since this great secret had been exposed in front of him, would they still be able to get out of here alive?

He couldn't help but glance at the others, and the fear and greed in each other's eyes could be seen in each other's eyes. "Until this time, they were still thinking about snatching the Azure Spear!" Babaan knew at a glance that his colleagues had guessed the origin of the spear in Akane's hand just like him, and even if one or two hadn't reacted yet, they should have guessed something when they saw the faces of the others. But the greed of the human heart still surprised him, but once the idea was born, it completely burned out his reason like a wildfire - it was the most brilliant gem in the epic of the firmament, a true artifact from the last era, piercing the sky to bring an epoch's spear, the weapon of the Azure Knight, if he could take it, then would he be able to become the king of the world?

However, Babaan still retains a trace of sanity, and understands that the artifact is not affordable for everyone, and it is impossible for him to monopolize this holy relic from the ancients, after all, the Azure Spear is too famous, the wind elves, the Cruzians, and the Faenzans, which one does not covet it? Even the people of silver like the Buga people may be tempted, although the attitude of the dragon clan is unknown, but judging from their greedy character, they will not let go lightly, none of these forces can be provoked by him. However, Babaan understood that he had another choice, and that was to present the Azure Spear to His Majesty the Emperor.

As soon as this idea was generated, it was out of control, and he felt more and more that this was the best choice, and he couldn't help but suppress his voice and say to the others: "Everyone, you must have seen what it is, the conspiracy of Veronica and Count Tonigel has now been exposed before our eyes, whether it is success or failure, it is up to us to do it." ”

When the others heard Ba Ba N say this, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at him with some surprise. However, these are the best figures among the nobles, and they reacted immediately, and even had some surprises, they originally held Akane hostage to frame Veronica as a helpless move, but now after Ba Ba'an said it, they had a feeling of unintentional insertion. The Azure Spear was right in front of them, and if Veronica didn't know, who would believe it? Even if it's possible. But as the supreme commander of the group, it was not her but them who discovered this secret, which in itself was a dereliction of duty, not to mention that with such a heavy gift, presumably His Majesty would not embarrass them too much.

The biggest possibility is that it will not be difficult. And it will reward everyone greatly. At that time, as the hero who brought the Azure Spear back to the Empire, even if the Cecil family wanted to retaliate, it might not be so easy. Even if done well, the Cecil family will only be angry with Veronica, and the Cecil family is a sworn enemy with the Ehirric family. As soon as they thought of this, the snorts of all the Cruz nobles couldn't help but become a little heavier, and they looked at Akane's expression, originally afraid. But now only fanaticism remains, like a red-eyed gambler.

"Viscount Babaan is right, such a big secret, she will definitely not let us go lightly, whether you want to die or live, just fight here."

"Don't talk nonsense, we all understand this truth, let's go together." A Cruz nobleman replied in a gruff voice. It wasn't his original voice, it was just that it was too nervous.

Akane stepped back. "They seem to have discovered the Azure Spear." She frowned. whispered to Owena.

"If there is anything, then kill them, and the dead will naturally keep the secret." Owena replied nonchalantly, apparently she had thought of this when she performed that spear technique, and she also understood that it was not a good thing for Akane to be exposed to the Azure Spear now. After all, the mountain girl is too weak.

Akane listened to Owena's words and didn't say anything, just nodded.

Killing without scruples may be a little hesitant for Freya, but it's not unacceptable for her, she's a mercenary herself. The things she has seen and experienced in the past few days have made her more mature, and she no longer has any illusions about the enemy. Akane is even a little annoyed now, if she hadn't rescued Ba Baan from under the ice, then there wouldn't be so many things now. She thought that maybe she shouldn't have been so kind to outsiders at all, and that the only one who could respond with gentleness was the lord.

She raised her spear, as if it had been a debatable question for her to defeat her opponent, but until Owena showed her the shot, the enemies were nothing more than ashes.

On the other side of the battle, the nobles were like red-eyed hyenas, driven by greed to draw their swords again. People's hearts are sometimes so crazy, even if they know that they will perish, but they can't help but let go under the drive of interests, as long as the interests are considerable enough, even when they are so appreciable that they can make people crazy, then people will really become crazy under its drive, and almost all sides of the battle will participate in this battle with the confidence of victory.

It was a terrible battle.

Akane's aura had changed since the moment she held the real Azure Spear, and in fact it was no longer her fighting, or rather Orvina was fighting—it was a Spear beyond mortality. In the eyes of a normal person, the concept of battle no longer applies to what is happening in front of us, to be exact, it is a one-sided slaughter. The Azure Spear is proud of the rules above the law, and the defense is nothing to it, because it has to hit, so it hits.

The process of a spear blow is now complementary to the final result, as the blade of the spear tears through the human body, so the whole world has to reluctantly add a mid-course process to it for the sake of consistency in the process, so that it does not look so abrupt. Akane held the spear in her hand, stepped back two into one, and the spear stabbed forward, and at that moment the Cruz nobleman seemed to take the initiative to send him to the blade of the spear, and met it head-on with a look of despair and disbelief, and then was stabbed in half.

Akane's face remained unchanged, she threw the corpse off the spear, and slashed it reflexively, and another Cruz nobleman beside her raised her sword to block it, but unfortunately the magic sword actually broke under the azure spear as if it was cutting tofu, and then the blade of the spear cut into his shoulder, blood splattered, and it seemed to be taken for granted.

In just a moment, the situation on the battlefield was divided.

Babaan and the last remaining Cruz nobleman retreated with a pale face—and it was only at this moment that they understood why the Azure Spear had such a place in the Cruz people's creation epic. Therefore, this is indeed a gift from God to this world, which should not have existed in this world, but because of a special mission, it has to lead mortals to bring a new page to this world.

This is the holy spear that transcends the earth.

……

The cabin was shaking, and Babaan took a sip of water, but still felt his throat dry. He omitted some of the processes in his description. But the whole thing still seemed thrilling to him, and the light in the cabin was a little dim, because it was not a first-class cabin, so the space was damp and cramped, and at first glance it looked like a 'cage' for sailors. There are several hammocks in the barrel-shaped cabin. There were three men sitting in the hammocks, Barbaan, Boimer, and a nobleman who was also dressed in a beautiful coat, and none of them looked like they were supposed to be in such a low-class cabin, but now they did not look the slightest bit uncomfortable.

In fact, I don't dare to feel uncomfortable.

Viscount Bernie sat across from Barbhan, the secret envoy of the Empress who had been secretly accompanying him in the legation, and who had a special mission, but now he had to return with the ship first. He hadn't even had time to set foot on the land of Eruin. But he did not complain in the slightest, but was glad that he had not informed the Eruin of his own existence before he came, otherwise he would not have aroused suspicion at this time, but if he was not here, he was not at ease with the 'thing' on board.

It's so important after all.

After listening to Baban's description, he subconsciously made the same action as the other party - he picked up the glass and took a sip, and the glass was filled with rum mixed with water. This kind of bad-tasting thing was like a sweet spring in the throats of the two of them at the moment, and they even drank a sip. I still feel some dry throat.

He sat in silence for a moment before asking, "And then, why didn't she kill you, and how did she become the way she is now?" ”

Baban's face was blue and white, and his head was covered with cold sweat. Across from him, Boimer was no better, and both of them seemed to be seriously ill. The former was shocked, and it took him a long time before he replied:

"Because of the explosion......"

"Explosion?"

After all, Viscount Bernie had not experienced that battle, and he recovered quickly compared to the two of them, and he quickly recovered to normal. Frowning and glancing at the wolf bèi's unbearable two, he wanted to reprimand, but he thought about it, after all, that kind of battle sounded cold to him, let alone personal experience, more than thirty noble soldiers of the golden rank were scattered all over the ground in an instant, and this turned out to be just a battle of the same level. Of course, he didn't know that Ba Baan was lying, putting all the blame on Akane and Brando, he thought for a moment and asked softly, "To be clear, Her Majesty will have to ask clearly." ”

Babaan glanced at the viscount with some gratitude, Viscount Bernie was born in the Parut family, and was a close minister of the empress's side, the other party's attitude made him a little flattered, but he also strengthened the idea in his heart, His Majesty had indeed coveted the Azure Spear for a long time. He secretly felt that maybe this bet was right, and while he calmed down, he slowly replied, "She did intend to kill us at the time, but it was interrupted by a sudden incident. ”

"Was it an explosion?"

Viscount Bernie asked, frowning as he wondered what kind of explosion would have stopped the Azure Spear. But suddenly, an inexplicable look of astonishment appeared on his face, and Barban and Boimer, who were sitting in the hammock, saw the viscount suddenly rise from his hammock with some excitement, and he blushed and circled the narrow cabin several times before he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; He stopped, turned around, patted Babaan on the shoulder, and said loudly:

"It's an explosion! I see, the explosion in the Dead Frost Forest turned out to be related to the Azure Spear, so it makes sense, Viscount Babaan, you can tell me what happened at that time. ”

Viscount Bernie said excitedly, but suddenly realized that his tone seemed to be too strong, although the two people in front of him had no identity at the moment, but they would not be able to be favored by Her Majesty the Empress in the future, so he quickly changed his words: "You should know the purpose of my trip, Her Majesty is quite concerned about this explosion." ”

Babaan nodded, but replied with some embarrassment.

"That explosion...... Actually, I can't say how it came about......"

"Wait, is it related to the Azure Spear?" Viscount Bernie couldn't wait to interrupt him.

Babaan glanced at the viscount with some suspicion, not understanding why he was always entangled in this issue, but he still shook his head truthfully: "I don't know, probably not, but I can't say it either." But one thing is for sure, the explosion came from behind us, and I felt a strong light and a roar, and because the explosion happened quite suddenly, in fact I didn't know what was happening at the time, but I felt all of a sudden the earth shake, and then the whole world was plunged into a blazing white, and if you don't believe me, you can ask Boimer, who met the same thing as I did. ”

Boimer's face turned pale, and he quickly nodded with palpitations.

Viscount Bernie glanced back at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "And then?" ”

"And then? Then I vaguely heard a strange woman's voice saying, 'Damn, this is ...... Be careful, I protect you! But I can't guarantee that I must have heard it, it was so loud that I probably had a delusion. Babaan replied.

"No, Lord Viscount, in fact I heard it too." At this time, Bo Yimo on the side hurriedly replied.

Viscount Bernie nodded and frowned, "That is, you were actually near the center of the explosion at the time, but you all survived, right?" ”

Babaan looked embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment before nodding:

"Yes, Lord Viscount."
