41. The shady curtain is like iron
Lamia dragged me out of bed with sleepy eyes, and the dream was forgotten by me, and I looked at the world like a pure and innocent baby.
She said, "The car is waiting at the door!" I can't wake you up no matter how much I scream. ”
I asked, "Ah, the game is about to start?" ”
"yes, don't hurry up yet!"
We were picked up by an electric car, with cables attached to it, and the huge coal mine of the Sword and Shield Society provided the electricity, so that the car did not run slowly.
People are still restless about the upcoming race, and everyone has a newspaper in hand and reads the results and predictions. The supporters of the contestants gathered together like a campaign phalanx, pushing and insulting each other as if they were going to fight first.
People in the world are always looking for idols that can be used to hold their spirits, and if they are promoted, I suspect that even a dog or a brick will have die-hard fans. These powerful warriors intoxicated the already armed inhabitants of Ponza, and when like-minded people came together, they became more and more confused and crazy, and they did not hesitate to pay taxes for their intelligence.
They wandered around with portraits of the players, vying for the most visible spots, scoping the grapevine for any chance of buying tickets, and if they did, they faced internal disintegration because everyone wanted it. More often than not, they are unanimous in their outward disposition, insulting their opponents and not missing any opportunity to belittle them, as if they were more successful trolls, the warriors they support would lose in the ring.
Entering the box of the arena, I was greeted by several of the Nine Hermits, and I asked, "Has His Majesty arrived?" ”
Nana pointed to the box on the next floor and said, "There it is." ”
"Your Majesty is always alone?"
"When he summons us, we must listen to him," Vasilisa said. The rest of the time, he was always accompanied by two silent guards. ”
I asked again, "Is Your Majesty's martial arts very high?" ”
"I haven't tried, but I don't want to, and we have sworn allegiance to him, and this oath cannot be broken," Vasilisa said. ”
Nana: "I've heard rumors that Your Majesty is the only descendant of the Sword and Shield Society's 'No Sorrow Curse'. ”
When I heard this, I was immediately intrigued and asked, "No sorrow?" What is that? ”
Nana said, "It's the strongest telepathic stunt, and it's infinitely powerful. He is not only the supreme power of the Sword and Shield Society, but also our strongest martial artist. ”
The corners of my mouth turned upward, revealing a proud look, and I was about to make a provocative speech, when Lamia saw my expression, she knew the clue, and took out a piece of steamed bread to block my mouth.
I was deeply dissatisfied, thinking that she was treating me like a dog with a bad brain, but fortunately this steamed bun was delicious, and I thought I was hungry.
West shouted from below, "It's really.... What amazing news, the Marquis of Stone Skull was unable to participate due to an accident, and the Marquis of Bostetus won without a fight! ”
There was an uproar, some people protested dissatisfied, some demanded the truth, and a dissatisfied knight jumped off the field with the intention of challenging Bostetus, but was taken away by a group of knights in uniform.
Baudelairci said: "What happened? ”
A knight walked into the box and said, "My lords, the incident happened suddenly, and the Marquis of Stone Skull died. ”
Everyone present shouted, "What? ”
I watched calmly, not surprised. As for why this is so, I suspect it has something to do with the mad web.
Neff asked, "Why are you telling us now?" When was this? ”
The knight was the chief of police of Ponsa, and he replied with a distressed expression: "About three hours ago, a group of bandits attacked the Marquis of Stone Skull when he was tired from practicing martial arts. Five of them died, but so did the Marquis of Stonehead. ”
Baudelaire asked, "Has the murderer been caught?" ”
The director shook his head and said, "My lord, the investigation is underway, and I believe it will ..... soon."
Neff: "Tell me honestly, what type of armor are these murderers wearing?" ”
The director shivered, wiped his sweat and said, "Yes.... Ponza's policing..."
Nefu sneered, "High Court Prison Gate. ”
Baudelaire, Nana, Vasilissa, and Norman shouted at the same time, "High Court Prison Gate? ”
I asked, "What is the High Court Prison Gate?" ”
Norman shouted, "That has nothing to do with you, Black Coffin Sword Master. ”
Nana shook her head and said, "The Duke is a friend of the Sword and Shield Society, so it doesn't hurt to tell him. The High Court Prison Gate is a secret brotherhood in the Sword and Shield Society, with strange rituals, and it seems to be widely influential in the Sword and Shield Society, and it seems to involve many people with high titles. In recent years, in Pomesar and in the rest of the city, there have been assassinations of members of the High Court Prison Gate, and they have been successful in many cases, and it is impossible to trace them. ”
I said, "That stone skull is from the High Court Prison Gate?" But Shi Skull's swordsmanship is very powerful, and the murderer actually only killed five people? It shows that the murderer is not weak. ”
Norman said: "The stone skull sword move is powerful, but it cannot be retracted freely, and the murderer must have recognized this." ”
"Your Excellency," said the Director, "it is true, and they have used military explosive crossbows. ”
Norman scoffed, "Did they really spend a lot of money to find out the source of the crossbow?" ”
The director tried to wipe his sweat again, but it was useless, he couldn't stop it, he laughed and said: "No, the murderer is not simple, very not simple, the fuel they use to dispose of the corpse makes it impossible for us to quickly locate the corpse." As they do every time they commit a crime..."
Norman: "If they can wear our armor, they must have been trained by the Blade, and as long as they track down the missing knights, can't they be found by the way?" ”
The director said: "The world is sinister, my lord, we are only afraid that there are internal ghosts here, they may privately train some people to work for them, these terrorists..."
I interrupted him and said, "What kind of dirty business is the High Court prison door doing? ”
Norman: "Juggernaut, I'll say it again, it's an internal matter of our Sword and Shield Society. ”
I said, "I have an almost clean sense of justice, and this seems to me to be a servant of heaven, Lamia, what do you think?" ”
First of all, I don't have a clean sense of justice, and second, Lamia knows that my sense of justice is very limited, but she still chims in: "Indeed, the High Court Prison Gate sounds very evil. ”
Nana sighed and said, "They... Abduct some girls, be possessed by some low-level demons during a ritual to summon demons, and... The men told the girls to give birth to Nefarem. ”
I clenched my fists and shouted, "That's a good kill, this person should be damned!" Isn't it a good thing for those murderers to do this? ”
Nana shook her head and said, "But this is against the law. ”
Me: "But it's not against justice, the nine hermits don't care about the high court prison gate, do they let them do whatever they want?" ”
Norman, Baudelaire, and Neff looked at each other, and Vasilisa clearly wanted to stay out of the matter, Nana said: "It's not that we don't want to care, but every time we investigate the case, we end up without a problem, and there is no small resistance." ”
I exclaimed, "Could it be that there is someone among the Nine Hermits who is sheltering these demons and monsters?" "As I spoke, I tried to make some sense of the way they looked, but they didn't show any flaws."
Below, the commotion had subsided, and the host West shouted: "Then, the first contest of the day, by Count Aardman against the Marquis of Orenmu!" Needless to say, one is a hero of the expedition to the Demon Cave, and the other is a superman with different talents. For the showdown between the two, let's wait and see! ”
Aardman and Orman walked towards each other, Orunmu looked relaxed and lacked contempt, while Aardman was uncharacteristically uncharacteristically without a smile on his face.
Orenmu said: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, let's get started." ”
Aardman sighed: "It's a shame that the opponent is you." ”
Orenmu smiled: "Are you scared? The Bloods are at the top of the food chain, and humans should fear the Bloods more than the Flood Beasts. ”
Aardman slashed a sword at Orenmu, who laughed and dodged it, saying, "It's too slow, and the human telepathic blade is nothing more than that." ”
As he spoke, only an afterimage remained of Orenmu, and he kicked Aardman once, but the other two were invisible. Aardman unleashed the Iron Lotus, which was kicked by Orenmu. Orenmu threw another iron fist, and Aardman was knocked out of the way, shattering the wall.
Lamia said, "He's too fast, the speed of the telegraph can't match his speed. ”
I said, "That's the power of the Blood's admonition, it's called the Heavenly Divine Walk, and the Heavenly Divine Walk of Orunmu is half superior to Bella's, and the strength is greater. ”
Orenmu landed on one foot, his movements flowing and light, and he said, "Is it over?" ”
Aardman stood up from the smoke and dust, his nose broken and bleeding. Even though he was in a disadvantageous situation, his expression was already as cold as ice, but I could read the anger that had grown in it.
This is the first time that the Ranger Aardman has shown his feelings, and it is only when the Mind Blade is integrated into the emotion that it exerts its true power.
"It's a real pity that I can't kill you here," Aardman said. ”
Orenmu: "What makes you hold such a grudge against me?" Ah, no, tiny human, why should I care what a dog thinks? For disobedient dogs, I will tame them with an iron fist. ”
Aardman said, "Why do I always run into guys jumping around? Lupo is still a little human, but you are like a flea. ”
Orenmu grinned, but the laughter was filled with anger, and suddenly, he struck again, swung his claws from above his head, and swooped down on Aardman.
Aware of this movement, Aardman swung his sword upward, but Orenmu just made a false move, dodged to Aardman's side, and he still threw a punch, but in fact, several fist shadows were hidden behind him, hurting people without a trace.
Just when he was about to touch Aardman, Aardman's body emitted a golden light from the inside out, the golden light was like a big tree with branches and leaves, and in an instant, Orenwood was stabbed by the golden branches, he screamed loudly, and rolled to the ground, the blood in his body flowed outward, but it turned golden, and the golden blood condensed into roots and branches, entangled Orenmu.
This is an advanced reading blade, which I have never seen before, and the audience was shocked.
Norman shouted, "Golden Flame Tree? Where did he learn it? This blade has been lost for a long time! ”
I asked, "This blade seems to be aimed at..."
Norman nodded, "The Grandmaster of the Sword and Shield Society who created this Mindblade has a deep hatred for the Bloodline, and specializes in restraining monsters in the dark, and the user of the Mindblade must be full of hatred for supernatural creatures, it can turn the blood of the Bloodline into golden branches, trapping them from the inside out. ”
Without saying a word, Aardman began to gouge out Orenmu's eyes and nose, his cruelty was unbearable to witness, but he did not kill Orenmu because the referee stopped him in time.
