CH.235 No Good Banquet (II)
Tang Kegang answered a question, and then asked, "Where did this floating island come from?" How did you elves get here? And who built that tower? In fact, his series of questions are directly related.
"It sounds like an exaggeration to go back about 3,000 years, but our ancestors did come here at that time." The village chief said leisurely, his voice subdued and frozen, which strengthened the atmosphere of these words, as if people's thoughts suddenly went back to a long, long time.
Tang Ke's eyes widened, the span of three thousand years was indeed a bit amazing.
"Three thousand years ago, in the midst of the Age of Revival, a new life sprouted on the scorched earth left over from the Twilight Age, where races such as humans, elves, and dwarves replaced the ancient races and quickly rose to become the new rulers of the world, replacing the ancient races such as angels and demons. At that time, there was a tenth-order swordsman named Atolis, who was a world-class powerhouse at that time and was admired by thousands of people. He accidentally discovered this sea of clouds, and under the rise, he invited a magician friend surnamed Tu and two warlock friends to create this floating island together, intending to create a land in the sky that can be inhabited. This is the original origin of Caiyun Village. ”
"After Atolis built this place, he used it as a place for cultivation, and then built the tower and other buildings. Every time he came to this heaven, he practiced his swordsmanship day and night, hoping to reach a higher level in swordsmanship. With his high status, of course, Ping Yuli didn't have much time to deal with trivial matters, so he brought a group of elves to the island and let these elves serve him, as well as take care of things like cooking and cleaning. The reason why he chose the elves to serve him was probably because he liked the beauty of the elves. These elves are our ancestors. Atolis comes here several times a year, for as little as ten days and a half a month, and as long as half a year. But suddenly, after he left, he never returned, leaving the island and its elven slaves behind. The reason why he never returned is probably that he died, and no one knows the specific reason. Because only he knows the way to leave the sea of clouds, since his disappearance, the elves on the island can no longer go down. More than 3,000 years have passed, and the elves on the island have been trapped to this day. ”
After the village chief finished speaking leisurely, he asked in a trance: "After so many years, the outside world must have undergone earth-shaking changes, right?" But it's still the same as it was before, nothing has changed, just a few more wooden houses. ”
Donk was shocked, trapped in one place for three thousand years and unable to leave, this group of elves had a really painful life. It's the equivalent of a prison cell for 3,000 years. If you let him live on a small island for the rest of his life, it is better to kill him. Moreover, there is a lack of materials here, and it must be very poor, otherwise it would not only be wearing birdskin feather coats.
"Three thousand years is enough time to make the world look different, if I were to describe the world for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it in three days and three nights." Donk said.
"Hehe, that's what I said." The village chief nodded, it was obviously not the time to talk about such gossip, and he turned around and asked, "I wonder who else is on your ship?" Since you're the captain of the ship, that means you're the best guy on board, right? ”
Donk talks about the Dumb Monsters and emphasizes his ability to control them, but when he talks about Elizabeth, he lies again, claiming that Elizabeth is far superior to him. He felt that it was not good to tell the whole thing, and he couldn't help but lie.
"You've been stranded on the island for three thousand years, and there's no way to get out of here? Your daughter mentioned the Sword Shadow Enchantment, but even if it's an enchantment, there's a way to break it, right? It's still this issue that doesn't matter what concerns Donk the most.
The village chief didn't rush to answer, but said to his daughter, "Lolita, you can help me see how the food is prepared, okay?" ”
"I'm not going. I'm here to hear you. Lolita said stubbornly.
"Well, it's not too late to listen to it later."
"Isn't there still them?" Lolita gestured to the four swordsmen behind her father, "Just let them take a look." ”
"If you go, I promise you to teach you new sword skills next time, okay?"
"Really?"
"When did Father lie to you?" The village chief said with a smile, looking amiable.
"Then it's decided." Lolita agreed, jumped out of her chair, and ran out of the house in a frenzy.
The village chief watched Lolita's small figure disappear until he couldn't even hear the footsteps. The smile he had originally hung quickly faded, his expression became as stiff and cold as an ice sculpture, and there was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Captain Donk, she's gone." The village chief said coldly, turned his head, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the tiger's head-shaped sword.
Tang Ke noticed that the atmosphere had become very wrong, the other party's body exuded a strong hostility, and the four swordsmen also showed fierce expressions. He let out a scream, got up from his chair, and stepped back.
One fourth-order swordsman, plus two third-order swordsmen, and two second-order swordsmen. If the five elves in the house were to attack, Donk's chances of winning would be zero.
"What do you mean, village chief?" Tang Ke asked in a cold voice.
"I'm going to have to clean you up before Lolita returns, but there's plenty of time. In that case, I'll talk to you about it again. I can't let you die in vain. The village chief calmly drew his sword, this sword is called the Tiger Roar Sword, and when it is swung, it will make a tiger roar sound, causing a sonic attack, "You are not guilty of sin, but it is not the guilty that deserves to die, right?" Judging by your performance, you guys did come here by accident. But your arrival will bring unrest to Caiyun Island. You will tell the people in the village about the outside world, so that everyone wants to go outside and see it. Do you know the result? As a result, my dominance will be threatened. Everyone will be crazy to leave, and they will not have the heart to farm, and they will not have the heart to raise birds. In order to get out of here, people will gather to do risky things, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Our village has a small population and can't afford to toss like that. So, I can't leave you. The village pointed the tip of his sword at Donk, and the meaning was clear.
The other four elven swordsmen scattered, occupying the windows and doorways, blocking Donk's path.
When Tang Ke was trying to figure out the psychology of others, he still had a bad move, he never thought that his existence would actually violate the interests of the village chief. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the feast. This is simply a murderous Hongmen banquet. In retrospect, all the questions mentioned by the village chief were used to probe his details, and he was particularly inclined to ask questions about strength.
Now, the village chief had no doubts and fully understood Tang Ke's situation, so he tore his face and drew his cold sword. Because he wanted to fight, the village chief took his daughter away, so that her daughter would not be implicated.
Tang Ke sneered, it turned out that the other party was also a wolf in sheep's clothing!
"I didn't expect that there are short-sighted and timid people like you in the world, which really makes me feel despise." Donk took a sip in disdain.
"Did you start barking because you were in danger?" The village chief's brows locked, and the hostility was like a rolling black cloud, and he began to approach forward, a cold light flickering on the blade of the sword in his hand.
"In your eyes, you only see this small island the size of a palm, but you can't see the vast world outside, isn't this short-sighted? Just the appearance of an outsider scares you into wanting to kill people, which proves that you have no confidence in your own rule at all, which is cowardice. You don't think you're capable of stopping the villagers from running outside. ”
"If you can live a peaceful life, why do you have to venture outside?" The village chief retorted angrily.
"You're also a swordsman, how could you say such unambitious words! How can this small island hold people's vast hearts? Don't you feel pitiful to live on an isolated island all your life and never even see the outside world? ”
"Shut up, you're just talking about a family! Not everyone is as ambitious as you, the people of the island have lived here for so many generations and can continue to live like this in the future! ”
"Ambition? Just to meet the outside world, that's a bullshit ambition! You're so narrow-minded that you're only the size of a pinhole! Tang Ke scolded without hesitation, although he was in danger now, judging from the words of the village chief, it seemed that there was no way to leave the sea of clouds, but the village chief wanted to hide this matter. This is very good news.
"An outsider who doesn't know anything about the situation is not qualified to say that about me!" The village chief's patience was at its limit, and he ordered, "Let's do it." Don't let him escape, and if you want to catch him alive, you just have to cut off his hands and feet. I'm going to use him to threaten the men of the big black ship, especially against the woman who is even more powerful than him. ”
Judging from the analysis of this sentence, the village chief seems to believe Elizabeth's lie that she is more powerful than Donk, and he also intends to arrest Donk.
This is a favorable condition for Donk, at least the opponent will be timid when he starts. He quickly rubbed the troll iron statue on his waist a few times, since he reached the fourth order, he had rarely relied on this treasure, but at the moment, the help of an additional third-order fighter would play a role in deciding the surname. Before he could stand out of the black smoke, the trolls had already rushed up, went straight to the village chief, and suddenly used the double-edged pincer sword technique, carrying the serpentine sword and scimitar behind his back, and his body took on the posture of a flying eagle swooping.
"You third-order swordsman don't have to be afraid at all!" The village chief shouted, held the Tiger Roar Sword in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Tang Ke's chest, he believed that he was a fourth-order swordsman, and his speed was faster than the other party, so he dared to fight back like this. His sword let out a tiger roar, and the nearby sword qi expanded significantly.
Tang Ke had concealed his true strength before, and when it came to speed, he was not far behind this elven village chief. Before the tip of the enemy's sword touched his chest, he had already completed the process of exerting his strength, slashing out the double swords, forming a cross-shaped sharp sword qi.
The village chief was caught off guard and hurriedly retreated, but it was too late, his body was bruised by the sword qi, and both arms were cut to blood. Two beads of blood dripped to the ground, staining the wooden floor red.
"Fool, I lied to you! Your heart is too real, I'm actually a fifth-order swordsman! Donk maliciously lied again, trying to scare the other party and disrupt the position.
"You bastard......" The village chief's expression became even more fierce under the severe pain, and he held the tiger roaring sword above his head and stabbed it down condescendingly. This sword is exquisite, and it controls the sword qi in a unique way, and these sword qi forms a hidden air flow, like a tidal wave under the hood of Tang Ke.
Fortunately, Tang Ke had used the investigation technique to uncover the village chief's old background before, and knew the power and usage of this sword, which occupied a great advantage under this kind of battle of equal strength.
Once you know the details of this trick, it is very easy to break it.
Tang Ke did not retreat but advanced, and rushed forward, although he bullied the opponent's body, but it was very safe, because the range of the village chief's attack was towards the top of his head and in the distance. He grabbed the flaw and swung his sword and slashed over, originally going to cut off the village chief's arm with a sword, but the village chief flashed it at a critical moment, and finally only tore the village chief's chest with sword qi.
The sword wound was not light, the golden feather coat on the village chief's chest was cut, the blood-stained feathers were scattered, and white bones were exposed in the wound.
The village chief changed his move to dodge at the moment of the sword, causing the smooth sword qi to reverse, which would cause some damage to the inside of the body. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and he stepped back sharply, looking at Donk with horrified eyes. This move was originally his proud sword technique, and in the past, when dealing with people who didn't know the details, he could establish a miraculous skill every time, killing and injuring the opponent with a sword aura as light as water. But this time he planted a big heel, and the other party seemed to have predicted his move, and directly aimed at the weak link of this move to break the move.
"It's a 'waterfall flow,' right?" Tang Ke snorted coldly, as if he despised the village chief very much.
The village chief was even more shocked, and his eyes widened and asked, "Y-How do you know?" ”
"Grandpa, I know a lot of swordsmanship! You can learn from my grandfather and me! Tang Ke crossed his arms in front of his chest, the tips of his swords pointing upwards, and his body's center of gravity was also pressed downward, which was a precursor to the sword skill "Lion Triumphant". When it comes to destructive power, this is his strongest sword skill.
On the other hand, the summoned trolls had also stood up from the black smoke and looked around fiercely. The four swordsmen saw that the village chief had just fought and was frustrated, and they couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Tang Ke.
