The paladin's shield was now firmly pressed against Cream's body, and the female paladin held a wooden sword in her other hand, the tip of which was firmly pressed against Cream's throat.

However, a loss is a loss. Her brows furrowed slightly, and then she slowly withdrew the wooden sword and shield in her hand, slightly adjusted the shoulder armor on her shoulder, which did not fit well, and nodded lightly: "Yes, I lost." Cream, you're really good. ”

"Hah! Ha...... Ha! I...... Of course I ...... Terrible! Alas...... It's mine...... Damn......"

After the victory, Cream completely collapsed to the ground, looking exhausted. Now he can't even stand up.

Losing two rounds, it seems like Sutta is a little unsatisfied. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she kept thinking about some of the details of the defeat in the battle just now. After thinking about it, she tried again and said, "Mr. Cream, can you still ...... Ah, it doesn't seem to work. ”

But looking at Cream's immobile appearance now, she really can't say anything.

But at this moment......

"Tiramisu, are you interested in training with this paladin?"

Suddenly, Capone's voice broke the deadlock.

Arrow looked up, only to see the magic swordsman smiling and stroking his student's head, and at the same time looking at Arrow's side—

"President Arrow, may I ask, is this okay?"

Hearing that the teacher let himself fight, Tiramisu's originally cold face suddenly shone brightly! But the boy still restrained his feelings well, nodded slightly, and took two steps forward.

Arrow also turned his head to look at the crisp tower next to him, and said with a smile: "If you still want to practice, let this magic swordsman fight you, do you think it's feasible?" ”

"You can't! Ha...... ......" Cream, who was lying on the ground, was still immersed in the joy of victory, gasping for breath and saying, "You and I...... Three rounds of fighting! Physical...... It's ...... so much! How can it be...... Can you still ...... Practice? Ha...... Ha ......"

Arrow glanced at the cream on the ground: "You just lie down!" ”

After thinking for a moment, the crisp tower here nodded silently and said, "If this little brother is willing, I'm really happy." ”

Arrow clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay! So the rules are above...... From the original to find the stone with a stone, if one party arrives first, it will guard the area where the stone is located for a minute, and if it leaves, whoever arrives next to the stone first will start the timer again for one minute, and the last losing side will wait in place. The next attacker is constantly forcing the opponent to leave the area, but the attacker can enter and leave the area at will, without restrictions. And so on, how about finally arriving at my side and starting the final battle of protection? ”

Sutta thought for a moment and responded, "Okay." ”

Tiramisu, on the other hand, nodded silently. But then, he looked at the wooden sword in Suta's hand, then at the long sword in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he handed the long sword to his master, Capone.

When he saw this, he also handed over the wooden sword in his hand, and then pulled out a wooden hammer from behind the tower shield and said, "Then little brother Tiramisu, let's start here, shall we?" You may not be familiar with our Pelican Town territory, so I can take you to a few checkpoints to identify the way, and then we can plan how much to guard. ”

The boy nodded slightly, followed the crisp tower, and walked away quickly.

While Cream was still lying on the ground snorting and dying, Arrow laughed happily, "I really want to thank Mr. Capone for letting your students assist in the training of our guild members." ”

Capone smiled, but then, with a slightly guilty expression on his face, he stared at the direction where Tiramisu had left for a long time, then sighed and said, "Actually, I should thank you." I was able to teach this kid to fight, but I couldn't teach such a fun and varied way of training. What's more, he doesn't have many sparring partners of the same age. So I thank President Arrow. ”

After the two sides were a little humble to each other, Capone paused for a moment, and continued with the topic just now—

"As I said, as an apostate, I don't receive much restriction. But it was because of the name of an apostate that I was able to relax and start trying some training methods that I had never tried before. For example, some of the methods I have seen in missions such as bathing with special potions. ”

Arrow glanced up and down again at Capone's current appearance, indeed, compared to the orthodox paladin of Bass, Capone's figure did look a little slimmer and slender. Maybe it's the difference in the so-called training style.

"Then, President Arrow, go back to the most crucial question you asked me. In other words, since I knew that the unknown being was bewitching me, why did I go out of my way to face that being? ”

After going around for a long time, I finally got back to this question.

This made Arrow involuntarily tense up and try to listen.

"Because of faith."

As a result, Capone gave this answer that sounded a little inexplicable.

"Faith is not only a way, but also a goal when a person is alive. I've met countless people, and I've seen so many people with so many different faiths. At first, when I heard that voice ringing in my head, I was also confused and vigilant. But as time went on, I started trying to communicate and communicate with this voice. In the middle of this process, I gradually discovered the source of this voice, and it seems that I also have some kind of belief. ”

"It was a very firm, even a little tragic color of faith."

"There must be something in the body of this voice, something that I don't know yet, but it must have a firm idea that is far beyond what I can understand. I was deeply moved by this kind of heroic feeling for my own beliefs, so even though the origin of this voice has some ulterior motives, I don't hate this idealistic idea of pursuing faith, and I even appreciate it a little. ”

"Now, you can understand why I want to go to the Eternal Sleep Mountains, right?"

Finally, Arrow now understood what the demon swordsman was thinking.

It's just that he really doesn't agree with this idea, and even wants to refute it.

But before Arrow could open his mouth, Capone said with a smile as if he had already understood something, "I know, President Arrow may be wondering now, 'Is this so-called firm and tragic ideal belief also part of the demagoguery?'" Could that demagogic voice be specially designed for this hot-tempered uncle? ’。 President Arrow, am I right? ”

In front of this handsome uncle, Arrow really felt that he couldn't hide any secrets.

He blushed and nodded a little shyly.

Mr. Capone smiled, stretched out his hand, pulled up the slightly recovered cream next to him, and continued, "Even if this is really a design, then I don't care. ”

"After all, people live in this world, always for the sake of being able to believe something, thinking that they are giving something for something. I also thought about it, if this is really a game, I will admit it, after all, before I die, I can still see such a firm faith, such a strong heart. For this reason, even if it is really a trap, then I am willing. ”

Speaking of this, Arrow suddenly thought of the fact that the Demon Swordsman in front of him only had half a year to live.

Thinking about it this way, it seems not incomprehensible for a person whose life is already coming to an end that he can see something that he has always wanted to pursue before he dies, and even do not skimp on his life for this reason.

For a moment, Arrow felt that he had almost no reason to refute.

Obey demagoguery and risk losing your life? People don't care about their lives at all.

Is this demagogue using man's most precious thing as bait? It was precisely this bait that this magic swordsman valued the most.

Will you lose your mind? Will you do something uncontrollable? Will it go against your heart? I'm sorry, but it looks like this Mr. Mas Capone is in a very good state of mind! If nothing else, just this kind of rationality is so that the president, who has always relied on fooling people to live, is speechless, who dares to say that people are not rational enough? It's just sane to the point of being too much, okay!

After much thought, Arrow finally realized that he really had nothing to say against it. At that moment, he could only give up, sighed, and said, "Since Mr. Capone has said so, when are you going to go to the Eternal Sleep Mountain Range?" To be clear in advance, the situation in that mine is very complicated, and if you really want our guild to be a tour guide, the commission fee is not cheap. ”

Capone smiled, but now shook his head and said, "What's this going on...... There is no hurry. I still have some things to take care of, and when I'm done with them, I'll naturally entrust President Arrow with it. ”

"Not in a hurry?"

Arrow was a little curious—

"Excuse me, what else do you need to solve?"

After all, according to Arrow's understanding, this demon swordsman only had less than half a year to live, so it was natural that he should want to do more things if his physical condition still allowed.
