XII. The Second Duke
Sokan struggled hard, and those golden swords were forced out by him, and he shouted loudly, and in an instant he regained his freedom.
The Duke of the Sword and Shield Society said, "It's okay. "It's a woman who listens to the voice. The long sword in her hand pointed forward, like a goddess of war commanding all armies, and the golden light condensed into a sword shape, attacking the enemy like a storm.
Sokan danced the corpse like a whirlwind, and as he fended off, he approached the Duchess, who said, "Curious's weapon." She took a step forward, and the sword pressed down again, and the hundreds of golden rays of light coalesced into a single light, and I heard the sound of gold, and the corpse warhammer was cut in half, and Sokan struck the sword, and the blood flew away from his shocking wound like a fountain.
He couldn't stand and fell directly to the lower floor.
I was struck by the power of the blade.
At this moment, a small demon appeared, gesturing nervously with both hands, causing Sokan to be surrounded by corpses, and the Duke of the Sword and Shield Society did not realize the trick, but just watched the scene. In the blink of an eye, Sokan, corpses, worms, little demons, disappeared before our eyes.
The Duchess exclaimed "ah" and said, "Can they hide in another dimension? β
I shouted, "I can't let him run away!" "Once again, I fell into the Shadows and fell into the Otherworld, and as soon as I left, I regretted itβwas I enough for myself? I won't be slapped in the face.
But I can't turn back, and if I look back, I will only lose face, so I can only pray, pray that Sokan is half dead, and there is no way to fight back.
I bet right.
I happened to land next to Sokan, and at the same time I had two swords in my hand, the spear spear was aimed at Sokan's heart, and Mjonir was aimed at Sokan's throat, and Sokan's astonishing speed was gone, and he couldn't move at all, he could only barely stay awake, and the little devil let out a strange cry and pounced on me, and I launched the Shepherd Blade, and bounced it far away.
Sokan smiled stubbornly, his eyes desolate and hateful, chilling my heart. He said: "You can kill me, but our revenge will not stop, and I vow to kill every man in the village!" Young and old have to die! Even if I die, the Purple Ladies will inherit my will. β
I put away my weapon, and Sokan was slightly surprised, he couldn't stop coughing, the wound that tugged at him, and the blood still flowed.
He's a demon, it's demonic blood, and he's weak now.
I cut off my fingers, my left eye shrunk, blood trickled down my cheek, fell to the ground, dripped into his blood, he looked panicked and shouted, "Soul contract? β
I stabbed the spear into his heart, and he let out a near-death wail, but he wasn't dead, and he wasn't going to die, and he grabbed my palm and tried to push me away, but he didn't have much strength right now.
He reluctantly asked, "Is this... What the? β
I said, "PokΓ© Ball." β
He was at a loss, and I didn't understand it very well, but the contract was completed, and as long as I lived, it would bind him forever.
I let him go and said, "My pact is very simple, from now on, let go of the Weeping Village, and neither you nor your subordinates will be allowed to attack that village again." β
He shouted, "It's not fair! β
It's fair, you've killed dozens of people, enough to pay off the blood debt.
Sokan trembled like a chill and fever, and after a while he said, "As you wish." β
I didn't say a word, walked past him, walked through the corpse wall, Sokan got up and followed me, I was calm, calm, fearless, tiger-walking, in this place surrounded by crises, still showing the style of a general, heroic.
This is the pride of tens of millions of people, how many people in the world can?
He said, "What are your legs shaking?" β
When the wind blew and the cold sweat soaked my clothes, I was extremely cold, and I said, "Shivering? I'm not shivering, that's how we humans walk. β
"You don't have to be afraid, you know that the soul contract is the strongest law, so I can never hurt you. β
I said, "yes, I do." "Actually, I don't know, I don't even understand what I just did. The memory of St. Longinus to me is like Scrooge's pocket money for his son, less than squeezing toothpaste.
I walked to the wall of the birthing tree, and the men were delirious, emaciated, and weak.
I asked aloud, "Which of you is Verin's friend?" β
I asked three times, and five of them tried to open their eyes and said, "It's me." β
What a fuck, Verin is a good girl.
I went to one of the most handsome and said, "You can do with these people, but remember our agreement." β
When Sokan looked at them, there was a joy of revenge in his eyes, and he also knew that most of these people were not the culprits who killed his mother, thirty years ago, the oldest of them was still an ignorant child, and I estimate that the average life expectancy of the village is not too long, and it is likely that Sokan's enemies have died a long time ago.
All he wants is catharsis, so let him vent. I am not a judge who presides over justice, and I can only do my best to satisfy both parties at the lowest cost.
I returned to the real world, and I was greeted by Scrap and Soles, who asked, "Your eyes..."
I said, "It's going to be back soon, don't worry." β
He asked again, "Is that Sokan dead?" β
I said proudly, "No, it ended better, I surrendered him, and he promised to spare the village." β
Solace sighed, "Can you trust him?" β
My self-esteem was frustrated, and I shook my head and sighed, "My venerable Soles, you really disappointed me by saying this, I am a legend of the Black Coffin, when have I ever done something bad?" β
Soles laughed, "I just know that I have suffered a lot of sins with you. β
I felt as if possessed by Michael, and was about to debate with her, when I saw the Duchess of the Sword and Shield Society sitting beside me.
We walked towards her, she politely got up, we bowed to each other at the same time, and I said, "Your Excellency, we are the Rangers of the Black Coffin, I am Fishbone Longinus, this is the Waste Bell, that is Soles, thank you for your help." β
When the Duke took off her helmet, I was amazed, I never thought she was a more beautiful girl than Lamia, her smile was confident and pure, her eyes were clear and sad, and her face seemed to be a perfect blend of classical art and modernity, and if it weren't for her fierce blade, I would have thought she would not have survived even a second in this treacherous wasteland.
She said, "I am the Duke of the Sword and Shield Society, one of the Nine Hermits, Nana Christian, and the three can call me Christina. β
I shouted, "Sure enough, it's the Nine Hermits, Your Excellency's swordsmanship is in no way inferior to Duke Vasilissa's strange power divine body!" It's really eye-opening and admirable. β
Christina smiled, "You're the warrior who defeated Abel?" Vasilisa has a lot of respect for you. β
I felt like I had eaten a hot air balloon and was about to float into the sky, but I put a smile away and said in a deep voice, "Please don't preach this to more than a thousand people at most, I'm a low-key escapist." β
Christina said, "It's too late, Vasilisa has already spread the word about you throughout the Sword and Shield Society." β
I laughed out loud, but immediately gagged my mouth with my fist, and after a moment I sighed, "Well, how could she do that?" It's really... It's really against my will. β
"I was on my way to the Black Coffin because I had been ordered to take over the post of envoy, and I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time," Christina said. β
I noticed her delicate, bulging canine teeth, which, instead of making her look horrible, made her as cute as a feline.
I asked, "Your Excellency too... Like His Excellency Vasilisa...."
Christina said, "Yes, as the day falls, I need to leave first, and I will see you again in the evening." β
I said, "We can guard your habitat." β
Christina said, "No, it's not that I can't trust you, it's that I'm on my own." She thought for a moment, and then said, "I heard Vasilisa introduce the important people in the black coffin, and I learned that Tifeng was also in the black coffin, do you know that she is the closest sister I have ever had?" β
I stared at her shoes, thinking that maybe I should clean them for her, but wouldn't it be too explicit to slap her on the back like that?
After thinking about it for a long time, I think it's better to take it easy, and pay attention to moisturizing things silently, which is the highest level.
I touched my handkerchief, wiped my tears and said, "I am also loyal to the Duke of Tiphon, and now that you sisters are reunited, it is really touching, and it couldn't be better." β
Christina said: "I had an argument with her more than 100 years ago and had a bad time, but after this catastrophe, we should be able to get rid of our old suspicions when we reunite after the catastrophe." β
I asked, "I wonder why you are arguing?" β
Christina looked uncertain and said, "I don't agree.... Some of her practices, she seems to have killed people who are very important to me, and she is also against me looking for them..."
I asked, "Looking for what?" β
She said: "Looking for a hermit, she said that the person was my imagination and did not exist. At this point, she smiled and said, "Don't mind, it's all my delusion, don't bother you, goodbye." β
I said, "Yes, easter eggs and everything else are evil, so you don't have to worry about it." β
She asked, "What?" I'm an easter egg? β
"Your Excellency doesn't have to pay attention to the Chief, he sometimes doesn't know what he means. β
After putting on the helmet, Christina staggered and clumsy away, and we obeyed her wishes and did not follow.
I was relieved and said, "It's good that she didn't fight us for this place." β
"I don't think she's going to do that. β
Solace said, "Is she a Bloodline?" I've never seen such a naΓ―ve Bloodline. β
We still had business to do, so I approached the reactor, ran the test program, and said, "It's perfectly normal, and the output is as powerful as the Black Coffin, and we've found a second oasis." β
Great, now, we just need to finalize the ownership of this place, only the lack of energy can start the reactor, and the village has no idea that it is sitting on an infinite treasure mountain, which is our greatest advantage.
We knocked on the iron door, and it took twenty minutes before the iron door opened.
When Verin saw the kid on my shoulder, she cried with joy and shouted, "Jason! And sure enough... Sure enough, he was still alive. β
Looks like I saved the right person.
I said, "He is very good, that is, he has raised a few fat sons for nothing, father and son are safe, congratulations." β
Verin asked, "What?" He... What sons did you raise? β
This reality is so cruel, I can't bear to tell this poor innocent girl.... As a result, it took me a lot of words to get Verin to understand the tragedy that befell Jason in a nuanced and vivid way.
