Chapter 81: The Sword and the Shield
August 1733 in the solar calendar, Pamela Kles
When the meeting was officially announced, the atmosphere of the town became a little lighter, today will be the last day for everyone to stay here, and in this case, the kings have all chosen to rest, the meeting has made their energy to the limit, after all, they are all humans, so they can finally rest a little after such a toss.
So the guards were relieved, the kings were resting, the dragons were not coming, and there were nightingales watching the town, so they didn't need to stand guard any longer.
"As a guard, you can't let your guard down under any circumstances, Rias, you look a little absent-minded. Gegth reminded the sword princess that Rias was dancing with an iron sword, looking impatient.
"I know, but I can't do a good job of guarding without a sword, right?" she said, knocking the sword to the ground, and the blade of the sword snapped off like a piece of shortbread.
"No matter how you pass by, the sword in your hand is so useless. Gegth frowned at this.
"Of course you don't have to worry about wear and tear with the Mithril Sword, this ordinary iron sword can't withstand my anger at all, these are all starting to shatter from the inside. Lias said, throwing the broken sword to the knight for him to check, "It's not the family's special steel sword, this kind of goods is the limit if you use it once." ”
"Gas... I've heard of it, but I remember that wasn't what Skaku used for his punches?" Gegus tried to break the blade with his hand, and with a little force, he broke off a piece.
"We and they actually... But they don't need weapons, they don't have our troubles, but their fists don't have as much range as ours. I can't say much about the rest. Lias looked at the empty scabbard and sighed, "I've used up all the weapons in stock here, and now I don't even have a toy to play with, but I'll be able to leave tomorrow." ”
"This is often the time when people are most likely to be attacked, and you can't think like that. Geith woke her up again, but looking at Jian Ji's lonely expression, he could also understand, "Give." The knight drew his sword from his waist and handed it to Rias.
"Huh?" Kenhime was visibly surprised by this move, "This... It wasn't compliant, right? It was a special case before, and now..."
"You have to do a good job of guarding, it can help you, and it doesn't matter from that point of view. Gegth shook the hilt of his sword and motioned for her to continue.
The Mithril Sword is a great temptation, and it is not easy for Rias to refuse once in attitude, and seeing Gegs insisting, she immediately took the sword, "It's the first time I've used Mithril things, and your church has swallowed it all to yourself." ”
"If the church doesn't take it, won't your kingdom throw it all into the battlefield? metal that will never be broken, not to use it against vampires, but all against your kindred, it's hard to imagine what kind of situation that will happen. Gegers is very firm on this point.
"I know, I know. While dealing with Gegers, Jian Ji had long been fascinated by this new weapon, the Mithril sword flew in her hand, and she unconsciously waved her sword skills, "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for my sword that couldn't hold it, the dragon would not be my opponent at all." ”
"Is that... It's not impossible. "Gegs is sincere, he doesn't blindly compliment women, and what he says is very objective.
"Looks like you don't
Not so convinced. With a sword dance, Rias pointed the tip of her sword at the knight.
"What do you want to do?" Gegth instinctively raised his shield.
"Three moves, if I use three moves, you will know the power of the Popa family's swordsmanship. "After getting the Mithril Sword, Rias's attitude was a little crazy.
"I'm not giving you weapons to fool around, Rias. We're still guards, and if you're going to fight, I'll be able to fight with you once the war is over. Gegs still hasn't forgotten his duty.
"Then I won't have a reason to take this sword again!" Rias didn't put his hand down, but held it on the hilt with both hands, "I'm going to get it, take it." ”
It seems that the other party is serious, Gegs looked displeased, "Let me remind you, I am the first knight anyway." ”
"Hmph, so what? if you can take these three tricks from me, I'll—" wanted to make a bet but Lias hesitated, "I'll—" thought in his head, and suddenly Lias blushed.
"One condition, you have to promise me one condition. Gegth hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, one condition. Rias nodded, and the posture of the trick was set, and in the open space at the entrance of this house, the two of them stepped back ten steps from each other.
"Is it big enough?" Gegus held his shield in front of him, and a golden light shone from it.
"That's enough, I'm not a magician, and my sword skills aren't so pompous!" Lias stepped forward with his right leg and raised his sword to his eyebrows with both hands, "My three moves are the three strongest killing moves in the Popa family's swordsmanship, be careful." ”
"It's okay, just come on. The pace remained the same, and Gegth held his shield so flat.
The Mithril Sword didn't glow in Rias's hand, but as luck set in, the sword began to emit some kind of signal around it.
"This is what your warriors are talking about sword intent?" Gegth felt this kind of thing, but his tone was more curious.
"Seven Styles. With a whisper, Lias stabbed out with a sword, very similar to the last duel with the dragon envoy, but this stab scraped a lot around her, she rushed towards Gegus, as the momentum of the forward rush increased, a flow of air began to appear around the sword, this rotating air flow is visible to the naked eye, watching this thing rush towards him, the will of ordinary people will collapse.
But this sword qi came to an abrupt halt when it touched Gegeth's shield. Rias looked surprised, all the qi bounced off after touching the knight's shield, and when the tip of the sword touched, the air flow was even dispersed.
"Eight styles. Lias stepped back, then turned the sword horizontally, and the sword qi regathered, at this time, her sword swing blew away the surrounding things like a wind and clouds, and her sword began to slash towards this shield intensively, one sword on the left and one sword on the right, and everything around it was cut by this sword qi, but the shield did not move at all, "If it weren't for the shield, I would be more disciplined, don't think that my swordsmanship is so simple and flat." Feeling a little embarrassed, Riast explained.
"I understand, you're not the first to do this. Gegth said and laughed, "Anything else?" he was relaxed at the tone.
"And... Empty formula. "The last move, the highest skill of the Popa family, the talented Lias mastered it in just one year, and the unequaled swordsman came from this.
The left leg was pulled back, and at this moment, the sword qi that was noisy just now disappeared all at once, and the sword returned to the ordinary, but the posture of the sword Ji was not put down, "This move even the dragon envoy can't retreat with his whole body, even if the defense is strong, the sword qi is pervasive." With that, Lias's eyes closed.
"I'm looking forward to it. The knight's body didn't move.
This sword didn't seem to be any different, but when the tip of the sword stabbed into the shield, Jian Ji opened his eyes, "Break!" As soon as the words fell, the surging sword qi slammed into this shield like a torrent through the sword itself. But this looked no different from the previous two times, and no matter how strong the sword qi was, there was still nothing to do in the face of this shield.
But Rias's move was not over, and with a flick of her wrist, the sword slashed out from above the shield, and her brow furrowed at the shield, and the sword slashed straight down from above.
There was a muffled sound, and there was no sword qi in this blow, but Gegs raised his eyebrows, "This time it's a bit interesting, is the sword qi completely contained?
"Ah, my state of mind is still not enough, I really want to kill you. The sword slipped off the shield, and Rias flung the tip of the sword to the ground beside him, and a deep mark appeared, and the naked eye did not see how it was caused, but it was still useless, worthy of the first knight. Rias sighed, conceding defeat.
This kind of frustration is the first time, even in the face of Lindra, she just didn't have a chance to use her full strength, not to use her full strength and be cracked, Gegeth's defense is like a mountain, no matter what she does, it is impossible to shake it in the slightest, and even this surging sword qi can't penetrate at all.
"Not bad, it's pretty strong in the individual attacks I've dealt with. Gegers put away his shield, his breath still well-proportioned.
"Don't comfort me, I'm willing to gamble and lose, say, what conditions. "Jian Ji will not cheat, since she has lost, she should admit punishment.
"My conditions are simple. "It seems that Gegus has already thought about it" In the future guards, I hope you can effectively perform your duties, not like today, maybe warriors have unique habits, but as a guard, you should take the object of protection first. The man's tone was not too harsh, but it sounded very bad, it seemed that he had been a little angry since just now, he turned his head to look around, the surging sword qi just now cut the surrounding things into a mess, the windows in front of the door were shattered, and the porch side was even more miserable, the door looked broken" As a knight, I actually have a temper, but I generally don't say anything as a guard, but this... It's already affecting His Majesty's rest, right?"
"I'm sorry," Rias was ashamed to say this, "I... Let's talk to Modrilla about repairing the damage... In the words of magic. ”
Gegth didn't respond, he closed his eyes.
"Eh, Modrella?" Rias saw the doll walking in the distance, but the other party seemed to have something wrong, "Gegers, look!" patted the knight's arm, and Kenji pointed into the distance.
The knight followed her point, and in the distance Modrilla was hurrying through the town, but she didn't seem to be very healthy, as if she was coughing.
"You stay here, I'll go take a look!" said Lias, chasing after the doll over there.
