CH.232 Caiyun Village (II)
Tang Ke smiled bitterly, he also pointed to Caiyun Village to replenish supplies, of course he didn't want to fight with the village chief's daughter. But a casual sentence made this little girl angry like this. Looking at the serious and angry eyes, this duel cannot be shirked.
If you send an invitation to a duel as a swordsman, you can't refuse it, and if you refuse, it's a sign of cowardice, which will attract the world's shame and lose your pride as a swordsman.
The swordsman has a "way" that is close to that of the knight but slightly different, the knight is the existence of dedication, justice and loyalty, and the swordsman is the explorer who seeks the ultimate power. The path was fraught with hardships, and in the process, the swordsman honed an indomitable haughty character that contributed to the prevalence of dueling.
The collision of swords and swords is not only a brave fight, but also a process of communication and seeking the truth. At the moment when the two swords intersect, the two swordsmen can read each other's hearts, or they are as lonely and desolate as the cold plums of a snow-capped mountain, or like Shaohua burned out in a raging fire, each swordsman is different.
Through the last time he got along with Kilo, the lord of the little pirate city, Tang Ke not only improved his strength, but also learned the stinky temper of the swordsman.
"Swordsman Donk, accept your challenge and draw your sword to fight! At this very moment, right here, let my sword bestow upon you the humiliation of defeat. Tang Kequan was playing with Lolita, and he also picked up the swordsman's shelf, and recited the challenge words that only he would say when facing a qualified opponent.
"That's not good, is it?" Elizabeth asked, glancing at Lolita's small body and turning her head sideways.
"Don't worry. I have my own sense of proportion, and I won't hurt her. Donk's hand was already pressed against the hilt of the scimitar.
On the other side, the elves of Caiyun Village tried hard to persuade Lolita to calm down, but Lolita didn't listen at all. When she heard Donk's words, she became even more angry, and pointed the tip of her dagger at Donk and shouted, "What an arrogant fellow, I must make you my horse after I win." ”
The incumbent "big Malaysia" on the side showed a bitter gourd face.
This nondescript duel was already inevitable, and the five ships rowed to the edge of the Black Pearl, and before the rope ladder could be lowered above, Lolita couldn't wait to jump onto the deck with her sword in hand. As she jumped, her long, curved ponytail hair rose up, rippling with a pale blonde.
"Short-eared, let you taste the power of my swordsmanship!" Lolita made a very standard starting pose, holding her sword in both hands and pressing it to her face, so that the tip of the sword was pointed at Donk.
The Black Pearl's open-air deck was eighteen yards wide, large enough for two swordsmen. Donk told the Dumb Beasts to step aside, making room for a large clearing. He maintained a light smile, and pulled out the scimitar with a "brush" sound, and the surrounding area immediately rose with a cold light, as if thunder flashed, which showed how sharp this Fishy Moon scimitar was. He pointed the tip of his knife at the ground, an unchanging start.
Occasionally bullying and bullying little girls is also a great joy in life.
The thought flashed through him, and his smile widened.
"Hmph, your knife looks good." After Lolita saw the Fishy Moon Scimitar, her face changed, and her arrogance seemed to be much lower. Not only her, but the other elves also looked at each other when they saw this scimitar.
These elves seem to care very much about the quality of their swords.
"Can we begin?" Donk asked.
"It's on, I'm going to attack it!" Lolita perked up, shouted crisply, and rushed up with an arrow, dressed in feathered white clothes that made her look like a white bird. She took advantage of the unique convenience of the bull's position, and after running over, a sword stabbed over, and the sword body faintly had a sound of breaking through the air, and a layer of sharp air was attached to it.
Donk leisurely followed the "garden walk" footwork, took a step to the left, and twisted his body to dodge the menacing Lolita. In the moments that passed, he had every chance to launch a counterattack, but he didn't.
Lolita stabbed her sword into the air, paused in her steps, withdrew her sword, and stood it in front of her for defense, then turned to face Donk. She relentlessly launched a second attack, and stabbed it with another sword.
Donk ducked away again, walking in a dashing amusement stride with a footwork that bordered on fooling his opponent.
Lolita stabbed sword after sword, but each sword fight was empty.
Elizabeth, who was watching the game, nodded, obviously seeing Donk's progress over the past year.
Those elven people showed surprised expressions, as long as they had practiced for a few days, they should be able to see that Tang Ke's strength was far superior to Lolita.
But Lolita, a little girl, is obviously not a person who likes to admit defeat, she jumped out of the battle circle, bit her lip, and shouted: "If you have the ability, you stand still, don't hide around, I will definitely stab you this time!" ”
Regarding the little girl's vexatious request, Tang Ke just smiled faintly: "Okay." I'll just stand still and let you stab. ”
Lolita smiled triumphantly, her eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed. She stabbed the ground with all her might, with all her might.
Tang Ke had investigated Lolita's background before, and he could see at a glance that this move was the "Earth Dragon Tooth Attack", which was a treacherous sword technique that used the ground to transmit sword qi, and if you didn't know the details, it was really easy to hit.
In fact, Lolita only has this trick and has no choice.
Because Tang Ke completely figured out the details of the other party, he dared to hold it up so much, and promised not to dodge or dodge. Otherwise, this trick is not so easy to deal with. He stared at the ground, the unusual air flow killed, he saw the opportunity, slashed over, and heard a "clanging" crisp sound, and the sword qi was intercepted.
Lolita's eyes widened in disbelief and asked, "Y-How do you seem to know about my trick?" ”
"So you're throwing in the towel?"
"I won't admit defeat!"
Donk sighed: "Then there is no way, I can only teach you a small lesson." As soon as he finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot, turning into a black shadow, and when he reappeared, he had already flashed to Lolita's side.
Lolita was shocked and hurriedly raised her sword to meet it.
Tang Ke quickly returned two swords, pinned down the short sword, and with the speed that surpassed the opponent's opponent, he unleashed the decisive sword with incredible speed.
"Dang!"
An echo rang out, this one from the side of Donk's blade striking Lolita's head.
Donk didn't want to hurt the little girl, so he slapped the side of the blade. He thought he was well controlled, and he wouldn't make a mess of Lolita. When he finished using the knife, he immediately withdrew his knife and stepped aside.
Everyone was stunned and looked directly at Lolita who was slapped by the blade of the knife. But she was silent, she didn't move, she just stood there stupidly. I saw that between her pale blonde hair, a red envelope quickly bulged.
"Captain, are you alright?" The elven asked cautiously.
It takes a little bit of time for pain to be transmitted.
Lolita's originally dull expression gradually turned to bitterness, and the water flashed in her big eyes, and she pursed her mouth and hummed in her throat for a while. She threw away her short sword, squatted down, hid her face and cried bitterly: "It hurts me to death, you bad person!" Her cry was so loud that it shattered the glass.
Tang Ke panicked and hurriedly said, "Hey! You have a bit of a swordsman's demeanor, okay? Why are you crying and crying like this? ”
An elven clan whispered: "She is the daughter of the village chief, and no one dares to win her when she fights in a duel...... It was probably the worst injury she'd ever suffered. ”
Tang Ke frowned: "Who would have thought that she would cry if you touched her." ”
Lolita suddenly jumped up from the ground, and everyone thought she was going crazy, but she wiped her tears and choked up: "Yes, you are right, I want to have the demeanor of a swordsman." She rubbed her big bag and looked at Tang Ke with teary eyes, "Okay, we're done too, as you wish, let's take you to Caiyun Village." ”
Tang Ke was relieved, smiled and boasted, "This is a bit of a female swordsman's demeanor." ”
"That's it." Lolita straightened her chest and returned to her previous appearance, but there were still tears in her eyes.
"Hehe, you are so young but so powerful, my sister and I are not as good as you." Elizabeth stepped forward and grinned and patted Lolita's little head.
Lolita frowned, dodged the hand above her head, and pouted: "I'm not a child, I'm twenty-two years old this year, but the elves are developing slowly." And who are you? The ears are so short. And what is the group of ugly monsters next to it? Can I eat it? ”
"Don't beat my men's ideas." Donk laughed.
"I'll eat!" Lolita pulled down her eyelids and grimaced.
The dumb monsters on the side understood some of the conversations, and couldn't help but look at each other in shock, looking at the little elf girl with strange eyes.
Seeing that Lolita was too reluctant to communicate, Donk turned to face the tall elf behind him and asked, "Where is the village where you live?" Can you take me there now? Also, I'd like to hear from you about your village and what's going on in this sea of clouds. Of course, I'll tell you where I came from. ”
The tall elf was deep in thought, obviously uneasy about Donk and his party.
In order to dispel the other party's concerns, Donk continued: "If I want to do it against you, I can do it now." But I didn't do that, proving that I had no bad intentions, right? ”
"Where, where, I don't suspect you." The tall elf waved his hand again and again, and finally nodded, "Okay then." Let's set sail first and talk slowly on the way. ”
"Then there will be labor." Donk said.
The tall elf waved his hand, and the other elves returned to the boat one after another. Among them, all those who wore real swords were all good, and they were almost all at the level of first-order swordsmen. Those who wore wooden swords were not very skilled.
In the end, only the tall elf and Lolita remained on the Black Pearl.
Keeping in his habit of talking about things at the dinner table, Donk snapped his fingers and ordered the Dumb Monster to go down and fetch the seats, as well as the red wine and bacon sausages.
Five small boats paddled forward to Caiyun Village in the northwest. It didn't take long for the Black Pearl's simple banquet to be set up. The Donk and the others sat down around the round table, and first exchanged names, and the tall elf stood behind Lolita with a wry smile.
"So, let's talk while we eat. The hospitality is not good, and I still look at Haihan. Tang Ke pointed to the wine table and said.
"Give me a taste of what this red thing is." Lolita excitedly grabbed the potbelly glass of red wine, put it to her lips and took a sip, and when the wine was in her stomach, she boasted cheerfully, "Good thing." It's delicious. ”
Elizabeth was very interested in Lolita and had been observing Lolita, and when she saw Lolita drinking, she asked Donk, "Isn't it okay to let her drink?" ”
Tang Ke shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of, but she is a twenty-two-year-old girl." ”
"Wine? What is Wine? Lolita had already drunk half a glass of red wine in two sips, and asked with a hiccup. She drank red wine, but she didn't know what it was.
"Haven't you heard of wine?" Elizabeth asked, surprised.
"I haven't heard of it." Lolita took another sip without knowing how deep or shallow, and by this time her face had begun to turn red, and it seemed that she had a strong reaction to alcohol.
Tang Ke muttered in his heart, why haven't these people even heard of wine? He had a lot of questions about this place, and he was a little unable to ask for a while, he thought about it, looked up and asked the more reliable tall elf, "What is the situation in your Caiyun Village?" ”
The tall elf hesitated for a moment, then replied after weighing the severity: "Caiyun Village is just a village, with a small population, and it is built on a piece of land. Well, I want to ask, who are you? How did you get here? ”
Donk's eyes narrowed, both of them had various questions, and they could only change them one question at a time.
"We flew into the sky by accident, and the specific situation will sound a little strange, but with normal methods, it is impossible to bring us here, right?" Without waiting for an answer, he asked, "Do you know a way to get back down there?" In fact, I'm in a hurry to get back to the following. ”
"Don't you have a way to go back yourself? We don't know how to go back. Otherwise, we would have gone down a long time ago, and who would have stayed on this high altitude for generations. ”
"So you don't know how to get down?" Don Ke suddenly changed color.
"yes, we really don't know."
Donk only felt a double blow, and glanced at Elizabeth beside him, falling silent.
Lolita, who had drunk most of the glass of wine on the side, spat out the wine and shouted, "Hey! No matter how you ask, you always ask him! I'm the captain, so if you have anything to ask, just ask me. ”
The tall elf behind sighed helplessly.
A cloud shrouded Tang Ke's heart, the other party said that he didn't know how to go down, this was probably true, otherwise, these people would not all be wearing leather clothes. In this way, it means that it will be difficult for him to go on.
The date of his engagement with Goldbeard is approaching, and if he fails to make it, it will have terrible consequences.
As for the consequences, he couldn't even think of it.
He felt that Lolita had no scheming, but was easy to talk to, so he asked her, "How many people are in your village?" How big is that landmass? ”
Lolita spoke freely, completely ignoring the coughing gesture of the tall elf behind her, and halfway through her she said, the glass was empty, and she reached for the bottle. Elizabeth hurriedly laughed and stopped her, convincing her that she would fall unconscious if she drank too much. Lolita stuck out her tongue, said stingy, and talked about the village again.
This sea of clouds is large in size, and it does not flow in all directions, but has a fixed shape. There are four large and small landmasses in the sea of clouds, but only one village, Caiyun Village, is used for planting crops and trees. The population of Caiyun Village is only more than 10,000 elves, and there are no people of other races. As for the history of Caiyun Village, Lolita didn't know either, and the tall elf didn't want to say it, so she couldn't get an answer for a while. In short, this group of elves has lived in Caiyun Village for several generations, and because they have never been down, they know very little about the things of the outside world.
Donk had been struggling with how to go on in his heart, and a spark of inspiration suddenly burst out in his head. As long as there is a tree or leather, it can be braided into a strong rope, and if there is a long enough rope, then you can go down the rope?
He put the idea out there.
Lolita waved her small hand and said, "That's not good, there are 'walls' around the sea of clouds, which will block the rope and can't stretch it at all." I'll take you to the end of the sea of clouds to have a look later, and you'll know. ”
Donk couldn't help but be disappointed, and it was right to think about it, if he could leave so easily, the people here would have been gone long ago. This place is almost the same for sightseeing, but it is not suitable for long-term living. He sighed and continued, "What do you mean by 'wall'?" It can't be a real wall, right? ”
"The wall is the 'Sword Shadow Enchantment', and that thing is like a ......," Lolita's eyes lit up and she pointed to the red wine bottle, "It's like this transparent jar, enveloping the entire sea of clouds." If you touch the 'Sword Shadow Enchantment', you will be bounced back. ”
"Enchantment? Who laid it? "Donk knows that enchantments exist, but this thing is not something that ordinary people can make.
"I don't know, I had it before I was born." Lolita finally got impatient, and she slanted her eyebrows and said, "Don't mention the matter of Caiyun Village, let's talk about you." ”
Donkehu made up a trick and falsely claimed to be an armed merchant, and then ran into a tornado, and the boat and people were blown onto it.
"You're a pretty short-eared man. You should be able to get to a draw with my father, but if you meet my brother, he will definitely lose, he is the number one kendo master in Caiyun Village. Speaking of her powerful brother, Lolita's eyes are full of gold stars.
"Then it's good to have a chance to ask for a lesson or two." Tang Ke was actually in no mood for a duel, but he felt that the opportunity to leave here should be found in these elves in Caiyun Village.
As they spoke, they had been sailing for half a day, and in front of them, the outline of a piece of land appeared.
