"There are so many good opportunities on the road, and I am still hesitant to follow here. ”

Julian was horrified and immediately turned away, only to find Dante standing behind him.

"This indecisive behavior shows that you are not a professional assassin. At this time, Dante's eyes were like torches, and his body exuded an air that only a seasoned warrior could have, and Julian understood that this "good gentleman" had shed the disguise of an honest man and restored his original appearance, but Julian was not surprised at all, but felt that it was logical, and if Dante remained the same, Julian really did not know if he could do it.

"You already knew I was following you?"

"After ten years as a spy, I probably didn't even have the slightest vigilance? When I was in the tavern, you sneaked a few glances at me, and I knew something was wrong. Mangrove was suspicious of me and investigated me privately, and really thought I didn't know?"

"Mangrove?" a big question mark rose in Julian's mind.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Dante continued to ask: "Actually, I am curious, what kind of person will Mangrove send to kill me?" I originally thought I was a professional assassin, but I didn't expect to be a novice. After all, where are you from? from the Holy City like the Black Tree, or are you from another city on the island, or are you sent directly from the mainland?"

What is the "Black Tree"? From the Holy City, does it mean Hagen? And what is the "native"?

Two more questions haunted Julian, and he didn't rush out, knowing that Dante had already thought of himself as a member of the spy organization. Julian's mind turned, and he said tentatively: "The Black Tree asked me to greet you." ”

"Kuroki, that's the real guy. I was not at all surprised that I betrayed him, and that he sent you to seek revenge. ”

After Dante said this, Julian has confirmed that the "black tree" in Dante's mouth is Hagen. Julian felt a rush of blood rushing to his head and an urge to draw his sword and rush forward, but he finally held back his anger and controlled his feelings, and Julian calmly asked, "Are you going to do to others like you did to Hagen?"

"Let's just say that. With that, Dante took a thick notebook out of his clothes and scooped it into his hand, "If you let me out of this abandoned mansion tonight, it will be in the hands of the people of the Holy See tomorrow." ”

Sure enough, he had made a roster of his companions to sell, and Julian was not angry at those who betrayed them, but felt an inexplicable sympathy.

Seeing that Julian didn't answer, the corners of Dante's mouth raised: "Do you still have to hesitate? If you don't do it, I'll leave." ”

"Why do you think you can walk out when you're unarmed?" said Julian.

"You seem to be confident, but don't think I'm unprepared!" Dent suddenly punched into a nearby wooden pillar, which was pierced by a hole, and Dent reached into the hole and pulled out a long sword.

There was a faint cold light flashing on the sword's body. He actually hid his sword in a pillar!

"I'm confident in my ability to hide, this place has been abandoned for ten years, and my sword has never been found. As soon as the words fell, Dante lowered his body and rushed forward with lightning speed!

Hurriedly dodged to the right, but his opponent's sword still cut through the sleeve of his right hand, and Julian felt his warm blood drip down his sleeve. The two swapped places, and there was a trace of blood on the sword in Dante's left hand.

"By this time, you still have compassion for me?" Before he could stand firm, Dante's right foot rubbed hard against the ground, and his left sword kissed Julian on the neck like a silver snake spitting out a letter.

The first move was lost, Julian did not dare to slack off, he spun his body, took advantage of the momentum to pull out the knight's saber at his waist, only to hear the sound of "dang", after the two swords collided, both sides took a step back. Julian asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

"What?" was hard for Julian to accept, because the price was too low.

Dante took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "You heard it right, it's ten thousand gold coins. But money is secondary, and the most important thing is that my family can live an ordinary life. ”

"Is this the temptation of the Holy See?" Julian said, raising his head, "they are just using you! ”

"Maybe, but I don't have a choice!" Dent lunged at Julian.

Julian drew another knight's sword, and the two swords closed the attack, and Dante's sword was jammed by the two knights' swords, but Dante quickly drew his weapon with astonishing force and stabbed Julian in the right abdomen again, and the latter was forced to retreat to avoid the attack. Julian took advantage of his opponent's unpreparedness to stab his sword forward, but Dante swerved abruptly, causing the blow to pass only in the chest. Dante smiled and continued to attack, and Julian retreated again in order to dodge the sword. The sword was just a few inches away from striking Julian's vital point, but Dante miscalculated, and the sword slashed into a table and sank into the wooden table. Seeing his chance, Julian lunged forward boldly, slashing his opponent's hand with one sword and stabbing the other into his throat.

Dante hurriedly withdrew his hand and retreated, but Julian's sword chased after him, and Dante had no way to retreat, and finally his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground, and Julian pressed the tip of his sword against the throat nucleus.

"Surrender. Julian said.

However, although Dante was already threatened by Julian's blade, he looked at his opponent with a sneer. Suddenly, he grabbed a piece of wood from the ground next to him and threw it at Julian's head. Originally, Julian's sword only needed to be sent forward a little to end Dante's life, but he didn't do this, and chose to return the sword to defend. How can a piece of rotten wood fight a sharp iron sword?Dant's resistance is just a battle of trapped beasts.

But Julian didn't expect that after the iron sword collided with the wood, the wood did not break, and his hand scooping the sword was shaken numb. Dante flipped backwards before Julian's other sword slashed. Julian saw the wood in the enemy's hand break through the middle, revealing another iron sword inside.

"You're really not easy to deal with. Julian approving.

Dante laughed, "You're not bad either. Pure Knights Templar swordsmanship, at a glance, you know that you have been studying on Key Island since you were a child, and you are not from the mainland. ”

At the mention of "native" again, Julian was full of doubts. Julian had an idea and asked, "Are you embarrassed to mention the local?"

"I know what you all think of me, shameful traitor?" I confess. I have dedicated the first half of my life, whether on the frontal battlefield or on the hidden front, I have contributed enough in the past ten years. Now I just want to spend the rest of my life with my wife and children. Maybe I shouldn't have broken the discipline and married the locals and had children. Some time ago, I was caught by the Inquisition, and I could endure all the torture, but I couldn't let them hurt my family. Young man, what do you do when someone scoops your most cherished person and threatens you?"

Listening to Dante's words, Julian was speechless, and the question raised by Dante had been answered by Julian with action a few months ago. He remembers the bits and pieces of his sweet life with Frey, but then his memories are replaced by the hurtful things he has done. In this way, Julian and Dante are like-minded people.

Seeing Julian in a daze, Dante thought that there was an opportunity, raised his foot and kicked out a stool underground, while rushing forward with his sword. Julian immediately came to his senses, his knight's sword in his left hand shattering the oncoming stool, and the sword in his right hand blocking the weapon that slashed at his waist. In the abandoned house, the sound of weapons crashing was endless, and the two fought for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Julian was sweating profusely, and even the makeup on his face was melted by the sweat, revealing that terrible centipede-like scar.

"I see. After a round of attacks, Dante suddenly took a step back, "You're the mysterious boy who followed the Black Tree. I wondered, why was the black tree arrested even though he had been warned? It turned out to be a trick to transfer flowers and trees. Your identity must not be simple, otherwise the Black Tree would not have made such a big sacrifice to protect you. ”

"Shut up!" said Hagen again, and Julie was quite uncomfortable. He took a step forward and swung his sword at Dante.

"It's useless. Dante pulled Julian's sword away, "You don't want to kill me, every attack is light and powerless, and if you don't abandon this childish idea, you won't be able to kill me until dawn." ”

Dante's words make a lot of sense, Julian's strength is slightly better than Dante, but he has no intention of killing the enemy, and Julian will not win at all if this continues. Although he wanted to win, he really couldn't kill a person who was suffering from his own disease. In this dilemma, Julian noticed that Dante had been scooping the sword with his left hand, and then he remembered that Selena had mentioned that Dante's right hand could never scoop the sword.

Thinking of this, Julian used the knight's saber in his right hand to unsheath Dante's long sword, dodged close to Dante's right hand, raised the hilt of his left saber, and slammed it into Dante's head. As long as he can hit this time, Dent will faint. But Julian didn't expect it: Dante's right hand suddenly clenched his fist and slammed into Julian's abdomen, this punch was extremely strong, not like it was issued when a tendon was injured. Julian felt as if his intestines were twisted into a ball, and he stumbled back, and Dante took the opportunity to rush forward and kick Julian's left saber away!

"Your hand ......" Julian looked at Dante's right hand with an expression of disbelief.

"It is true that my right hand was once crippled, but now it is healed, and those who know this secret are the dying people. Dante slammed a pillar with his right hand, and the ceiling of the house shook, and a long sword fell from the ceiling with a large amount of dust, and Dante easily caught it with his right hand. God knows how many more swords he still has hidden in this abandoned mansion?

"Phew!" Dent scolded, swinging his twin swords at Julian.

At this time, he was already at a disadvantage, and if he continued to show mercy, there was only one way to die. Julian endured a sharp pain in his abdomen and rolled to his side, causing both of Dante's swords to slash to the floor. Dodging the menacing attack, Julian sprang to his feet, clutched the knight's sword, and charged towards Dante, who swung his twin swords and dashed towards Julian!

At the moment of hedging against each other, life and death, victory and defeat are only between lightning and flint.......
