Chapter 72: The Longest Day IV
Facing the man who raised his scimitar and pounced, although Julius also pulled out the weapon at his waist and made a parry posture, he didn't really have the intention of killing the other party - he felt that this kind of thing was very important, and he could feel from the fierce and vicious man who was getting closer and closer, that the other party only had malicious intent, but no killing intent. The momentum of the other party's rush like a hungry wolf did not make Julius feel panicked, nor did he make a mistake in judgment.
As the scimitar slashed down at his shoulder, Julius blocked the blade and unloaded it to the side. The man's posture of rushing forward was not steady, and after being blocked and unloaded by Julius, his body stumbled and slid towards Julius's side. As Julius crossed him, he slammed the hilt of his knife at the back of his head, knocking him to the ground.
The man, who had nothing to do with Julius, fell to the ground, let out a muffled grunt, and never got up again. Julius turned the scimitar in his hand and glanced at the man who had fallen to the ground. At first, he was not used to the scimitar that Lulunaka gave him, but after using it, this curved weapon was really easy to use, and it could easily unload other people's weapons, and it could also leave wounds on other people's bodies without much effort. All it takes is to slash at the human body and it will definitely leave a painful mark. In every way, it's a strange and fierce weapon, and the warriors of this country are using this kind of thing.
As Julius laments the Crescent's weapon, the guy who dragged him into the troubled waters returns. He walked over to Julius and clapped his palms, "What an amazing technique, I thought you were going to get involved with this idiot...... So I can run away. ”
Julius looked at the man who had dragged himself into trouble. The man in front of him was undoubtedly a man, and then he was dressed in a robe, and his head was wrapped tightly in a turban, and only a pair of eyes could be seen. His eyes were intriguing, and Julius could clearly see the two rays of light under the turban. It may be an exaggeration, but that's how Julius feels.
"What about the other man?" Julius remembered that the man was being chased by two men, one of whom rushed towards him and was knocked to the ground, and the other one?
"Went in a direction that would never find me, and by the time he reacted, I was already running away in the opposite direction. The man shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "But his companion is still here, so I think it's better for us to leave quickly." With that, he walked down a path. He also turned around and shouted to Julius, "Hurry up and follow." ”
"We?" Julius was a little incredulous, when did he become "us" with a stranger?
He could have just left, with no more to do with the man, but he followed.
Following the turban man, Julius said, "When did it become 'us'? I don't even know who you are." ”
"You've helped me out of trouble, and you have no intention of getting me in trouble, so I think you're a pretty good guy. "I know it's sudden, but I can't help but think of a way to take some of the pressure off me...... If I judged you to be a person who can't protect yourself, I wouldn't have done the kind of thing I just did. "The kind of thing that the turban man said was the only thing that he had just bluffed, and this is how Julius was dragged into the water. "I just didn't expect you to be able to get rid of a man who is taller and stronger than you so easily, and it's a bloodless way. ”
Julius remembered the man he had just knocked unconscious, and he was indeed a rugged man, and he was terrifyingly strong just by his appearance. But for Julius, the more vicious situations had already been encountered, and a strong man did not make a stronger impression on him—if he had to choose between a demon and a strong man, he thought that humans were lovelier. "Is this something to be proud of?"
"Of course, that's not a good guy to get along with, if anything, it's like a beast that has been bred to bite the weak......" The turban man turned around, saw Julius's dazed face, and didn't say any more, but laughed, "Oh, to you, it's probably just a kitten." He turned and stopped, took a small money bag from his robe, and handed it to Julius, "You helped me and showed me interesting things, and you are worth the price." ”
Julius hadn't figured out what was going on, but his hand had reached out and caught the money bag handed by the turban man, "What is this?"
"Remuneration. ”
Julius thought for a moment, his face suspicious, "Isn't it theft?"
The turban man laughed, "Do you think so? I do look suspicious, and that's right. The turban man began to untie the turban wrapped around his head, "Of course this is not stolen. Gambling is a very good pastime, and gambling for no purpose, just for fun, winning money is a very simple thing. That's why I'm being chased and beaten, and you should understand why, right? Gamblers and dealers, no matter which side they lose, will start to do something that doesn't admit defeat. ”
The turban man untied his turban as he spoke. After he had completely removed the turban, Julius finally saw the man in the turban. This is a very strong impression on Julius's heart, with a thin face, an eagle nose, and a pointed chin, which looks like two hooks facing each other. The eyes that were frighteningly bright under the cover of the turban, were bright.
When he first saw the man's face, Julius was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he said, "What do you look like...... Impressive. ”
The turban man just smiled, "Has anyone said you're rude?"
Julius touched the back of his head, "I didn't mean that, I just think I've seen a face similar to yours somewhere......" Julius thought for a moment before continuing to speak: "Probably an eagle...... You look like an eagle. ”
The turban man snorted, and instead of continuing the conversation about his appearance, he reached out and said, "I'm Mulder. ”
Julius watched as the turban man named Mudd reached out - now he was no longer the turban man. It's a gesture of favor to himself. Julius also reached out and shook Mulder's hand, "I'm Julius. ”
