XVIII. Brother trivia
My master, Ochid, once described to me the ancient organization of the Sword and Shield Society.
He said: "When we first joined the Order, our rank was a shield, which was equivalent to a knight's retinue; After that, it is a short sword, which is equivalent to a knight; then a war hammer, the equivalent of a baron; then the spear, which is equivalent to the viscount; then the long sword, which is equivalent to the earl; The long sword is followed by a double-edged axe, equivalent to a marquis; On top of the double-edged axe, there is a sword and shield, which is equivalent to a duke. On top of the sword and shield, there is a scepter, which is equivalent to a king. ”
Ochid used to be the "Long Sword", and when he was old, he chose to retreat to the countryside and was posthumously named a double-edged axe. Because of him, I had a dream of joining the Sword and Shield Society, and I studied the symbol of the Sword and Shield Society in detail. Now, I see that Misser is already a "baron".
Milse saluted me in a duel, and he said, "Longinus." ”
I said, "Milse." ”
I know Mirse was better than me, and when I was training under Ochid, I rarely beat him. I confess that I was jealous of his excellence, and I thought that Ochid preferred Milse, and that I was like a bastard who had been neglected and held a grudge, full of resentment and to no avail. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get Ochid to value me more.
Have I ever had a friendship with Milser? I can't tell. When he was chosen by the Sword and Shield Society to be taken away, I was enraged with jealousy, and I felt the mountain on my back disappear in an instant. I don't deny that I'm an ambitious person, but I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix. Mirsey went to the Sword and Shield Society? Let him climb the ladder in the Sword and Shield Society, and I will be able to gain the respect of Ochid, learn his true lineage, and become the ruler of Waterless Village.
But then, disaster struck.
I do think that if Milsey had been there, he might have been able to stop the upheaval, but he left us early and abandoned us. He has never experienced the fear and torture that I have experienced, and he has never seen all his relatives become inhuman flesh and blood. He's a tall baron now, and he's really fast enough to climb.
But Lord Baron, do you remember the master who loved you so much? Do you remember Dali, who had a crush on you? You enjoy glory and security, but I am burdened with sins, painful memories, and fish from which I cannot escape!
Misser finally asked, "How did the village come to be?" Why did my father and Dali, and everyone else, die tragically? Longinus, tell me the truth! ”
I said, "You're no longer from the village, does that have anything to do with you?" ”
"They have always been my relatives!" Milse said. Waterless Village is part of the Sword and Shield Society! I have the right to know everything, I have the right to mourn for them! ”
It sounds good, and of course, it's much easier to say than to do.
Milse said, "I hate myself for not being there!" What happened in my hometown became my nightmare! I can't sleep all night because of this! I was saddened by it, but my ignorance burned me all in, and I couldn't have a moment of peace! ”
Then why don't you die with them? Where is your chivalry?
Misser said, "Death? Only a coward will seek death! The ruins of your hometown are full of unrecognizable corpses, but I think you're still alive! I must find you and solve the puzzles that are bothering me! You've met Count Kuei, and their deaths are very similar to the tragic situation in Waterless Village! Longinus, you owe me an answer! You have to answer me! ”
But I just forgot, haven't you heard of post-traumatic disorder? My fragile heart forced me to forget my bitter past.
Mirse took a deep breath and said, "I hope the pain will make you remember." ”
Oh Milse, I've suffered too much to bear. I just want you to taste the pain too, you were a member of the village, this is your fate and obligation.
Milsey holds the sword in both hands and places it at his side. I put a dagger in each hand on my chest.
Misser said, "Are you laughing at me? What my father taught us was the dignified Eight Yi Sword, not the sneaky assassination technique. ”
No fewer demons have died under my dagger than under your sword.
Misser said, "But how many were killed head-on?" Don't forget, you're in front of me right now. ”
I began to run, and he stabbed me with a sword, and I held it with both swords, but his strength was no less than that of Lamia, and my dagger was parted by this brute force, and his long sword continued to move forward, and I rolled sideways, not only avoiding the sword, but striking him to the right. Mirse made a trick, and the sword was reversed, and the tip of the sword pierced the bridge of my nose, and I immediately stopped my attack and ducked aside.
Misse shouted, "You want to kill me? ”
Why should you show mercy?
"Because you have always been my brother!" said Milse. ”
You know I'm jealous of you, you enjoy my jealousy, and I'm just a shadow to set off your bright shore.
Misser said, "Your heart is still so dark. ”
It's normal, because you're too bright, and I can only look sinister. If I don't become a shadow, I can't survive.
I struck him again, and the dagger was pointed at him like a bull's horn. Mirse swept out with a sword diagonally, and the power of this move was so great that it was like a wall that could not be crossed, and it could smash people to pieces. This is the "Iron Lotus" taught by Ochide, and he still doesn't want me to die, so he uses this trick of hypocrisy and false righteousness.
I slammed my foot on the ground, jumped into the air, leaped past the very top of the Iron Lotus, and then threw the dagger into his eyes. I don't dare to say that this throw is faster than a bullet, but it is more sudden than a bullet.
Mirsey let out a long roar, and I saw only a flash of fire, and my dagger fell to the ground, and Mirse's blade pressed against my cheek, not hurting me, but my slightest movement would have cut through my flesh.
I heard the sound of trees snapping behind me, and Mirse cut off a large tree four meters away.
This is the "Shifine" of the Eight Yi Sword, the final stunt taught by Ochid, which I am far beyond my reach, as far as I know, before Mirsai left, he would not either, but now it is different, this sword needs to transcend the will of mortals, stimulate the potential of the human body, and produce the so-called sword qi. Ochid called such miracles the "Mind Blade", which turned the human mind into a blade and projected it into the world.
Mirse's voice was as cold as ice: "Now tell me everything. ”
My pent-up anger towards him almost swallowed me up, and I told him, "I forgot all about it!" You don't deserve to know! ”
The moment I said this, I regretted it, and I remembered the skyscraper that haunted my dreams, as well as my dreams and future. I hate that incomprehensible pride, how many people have died defending dignity throughout the ages? So what's the benefit?
Do you want me to kneel in front of him and wag my tail and beg for mercy?
Milsea would kill me, he had always treated me with contempt and displeasure, and I could see that he hated me as a prank when I sabotaged his tryst with Dali, and that all he needed was an excuse to do it.
Miser put away his sword, and said, "Put down your gun, Mademoiselle, I didn't want to kill Langi from the beginning. ”
I turned around and saw Lamia drop her gun, and she tossed Kuei's sword back to the Count of Wolf Armor, saying, "We don't know much about the cause of Mr. Kuei's death, maybe he was in a strange storm." They were killed as we passed, and if you had found their bodies, we would have known no more than you. ”
"I believe what you say, Ranger," said Count Wolfarmour, "in fact, I have met a Ranger several times along the way. I don't agree with your way of fighting...."He turned his gaze to the rifle, shook his head, and added, ".... But I appreciate your courage in battle, especially you, which is even more respectable. ”
Lamia said, "Then we can go?" ”
Count Wolfarmor handed the Sword of Kurong to Lamia and said, "Take it, this is a gift from our king to the skyscraper, and the beginning of our friendship. I believe that together we humans can cast out the demons of this world and restore a beautiful paradise. ”
Lamia smiled at him, gave a rifle filled with Excalibur cartridges to Count Wolfarmor, and said, "I greet you on behalf of the Archon of the Skyscraper, and I believe that he is willing to join forces with you, after all, our strength alone is far from enough to turn the tide." ”
I was still indignant, thinking about how to get my way back to Mirse. But Milse took my hand, and I saw that his eyes were a little moist, and he said, "It's good that you're still alive, and if you're still there, the waterless village will not perish." ”
Alas, what to say? Since he apologized like this, I can forgive him for the time being, after all, slapping people doesn't hit smiling faces. I am destined to become a generation of heroes, so why should I take honor and disgrace to heart?
He whispered again, "I beg you, tell me the truth, and I will not blame you for whatever has happened." ”
Since he asked sincerely, I might as well tell him with great mercy.
But just as I was about to speak, I felt a chill and I saw a ghostly fish swim by.
This is an ominous sign.
The timing is not right, I can't say it, although he is a little annoying, but after all, he is my brother. He can't die, and as long as he lives, my hometown will still exist in my heart.
The scene was a little awkward, but it was easiest to pretend to be dead, and I said, "If I remember, I would have said it a long time ago, but when it happened, I must have been hit so hard that I didn't have a clue." ”
Misser was disappointed, but didn't force me. He's still as good a deceitful as ever.
Lamia said, "Fishbones, let's go!" ”
Milser and I embraced, and I smiled falsely, but I was confident that it would look very realistic to outsiders. If the Sword and Shield Society and the Skyscraper are allied, Misser will undoubtedly be a very important ally for me in the Sword and Shield Society. If the skyscraper wants to strengthen diplomacy with the Sword and Shield Society, I am naturally the most suitable person.
At that time, my position will rise.
If you think about it carefully, there is no harm in reconciling with Milser, and he is a good person who is very righteous and easy to manipulate.
This is a good gift from God.
Salvatore shouted: "It's strange, what's going on?" ”
I became a frightened bird and asked, "What's the matter?" Do you want people to go home? ”
Salvador pointed forward, and I could see that the hut was enveloped by a vague barrier that had become a dividing line that separated us from the outside world.
