Chapter 82: Duel
Leo landed his feet on the ground, pulling away a little bit, intending to test it first. I didn't want Dimmit to be impatient, so he leaned forward, led his hands back, and as soon as he exerted his strength, the raging flames burned in his hands. Leo hurriedly pointed Canglin at Dimmit, but immediately realized that it was a trap. Dimmit's feet were chilling, and pale blue frost EXP was pouring into the ground along his feet.
"Oops!"
As soon as Leo, sensing the danger, moved, the ice unfolded under Dimmit's feet, spreading out along the ground like ink dripping on paper. Wherever Leo jumped, the ice pounced. He dodged three times, and when he landed again, he finally got entangled in the ice and immediately froze solidly. As soon as Leo was trapped here, Dimmite immediately put his hands together and used his arms as "cannon barrels", and the devouring flames rolled up a heat wave and killed Leo.
"Burn you!"
Leo, who couldn't move, opened his left hand to the flames, and the firelight of the forest expanded several times in the blink of an eye, forming a blue barrier. The flames slammed into it and scurried around, not burning Leo in the slightest. Until Dimmit's flames burned out, he couldn't break through the barrier. He lowered his smoking hands.
"I see, it's an EXP with very low activity and a very stable structure, so it can resist EXP attacks."
"Probably, I don't remember exactly."
Leo shook his left hand, and the fire in the forest returned to its original size. He lifted the sandalwood dragon and knocked it the ice, which gradually shattered and turned into water little by little.
"In this way, it's a bit difficult to hurt you with a simple EXP attack."
"So didn't I say that? One thing descends one thing. The firelight of the forest can not only resist EXP attacks, but also block physical attacks. β
"Interesting, I'm going to try it!"
Dimmit took off his coat and threw it to the ground. As soon as he stretched out his right arm, the Frost EXP immediately focused, condensing into an ice sword comparable to the length of the Sandalwood Dragon. With his left hand, he grabbed three sun-crystallized coins from his trouser pocket and sparkled them with a gentle grip. Then with a flick of his hand, the coins were thrown at Leo.
Leo didn't know what the coins could do, but he swept the sandalwood dragon away and flew them. The flying coin did not hit the ground, but went up into the sky, and Leo was about to look up, but he was caught off guard, and Dimmit raised his ice sword and rushed forward.
"Melee combat with me? Then you ......."
Before he finished speaking, Dimmit's figure suddenly blurred, and then, more than a dozen identical illusions were separated from his body, doing the same movements as Dimmit. Leo was caught off guard, and a dozen dimites were already close at hand, swinging their ice swords one after another.
Leo, who didn't have time to distinguish the real from the fake, parried with the sandalwood dragon indiscriminately, and quickly retreated. But to no avail, and I don't know where it came from, I was stabbed in the shoulder by the ice sword, but fortunately the wound was not deep.
Dimmit did not give Leo a chance to breathe, and continued the pursuit with the army of illusions. His visions are not physical and do no damage, but as long as they can cover up his true body's movements, it is sufficient. What's more, Leo doesn't have the ability to perceive EXP, he can't tell the real from the fake.
As Dimmit expected, Leo, who couldn't figure out his real identity, could only deal with all Dimmit's attacks at the same time, and his only way was to hide. However, Leo was in a clear mind, and he found the opportunity to flip backwards twice, and the sandalwood dragon propped up on the ground, picking up a large pile of rubble. Dimmit subconsciously blocked it with his sword.
It was this action that made him show his feet. The rubble passed through the illusion, only to be bounced back by Dimet's real body. Leo, who was quick-eyed, seized the flaw of this moment, stared at Dimmit's real body, raised the sandalwood dragon, and stabbed it desperately. Dimmitt didn't expect Leo's hand, so he hurriedly parried with the ice sword, and as soon as his attention was distracted, the illusion disappeared.
Facing head-on, Dimmit, who has not been specially trained, is obviously not Leo's opponent. Leo's move was too weird, as soon as the blades on both sides touched, he turned the sandalwood dragon at an angle, let the direction of the ice sword's power, and dodged the blade of the sword, directly slashing its owner. Dimmit felt like he was chopping a ball of cotton, and he couldn't do it.
After a few rounds, Dimmit couldn't parry. The ice sword was blocked by Leo with the forest, and then the sandalwood dragon slashed at him. Dimmit hurriedly generated a light shield and stopped it in time. The sandalwood dragon was only a millimeter away from a hit, and he looked at the blade to see it in the right eye.
"Damn!"
Dimmit, who interrupted Leo's attack, stretched out his free hand between the two and released a strong wind from his palm, blowing the two in opposite directions, opening up a considerable distance. Before he could stand still, Dimmit controlled the coins in mid-air, and kept shooting rays at Leo from all angles. Leo dodged while using the forest as a shield. The coin was still changing positions, and he would be beaten if he was distracted.
Here's your chance.
Dimmit shook his hand, the ice sword shattered into powder, he used the fastest speed, filled his hands with energy, and as soon as the hand released a strong light, it immediately shaped, his left hand turned into a bow, and his right hand turned into an arrow, this bow and arrow was smaller than the one that shot through the armor, but it was enough to kill Leo. As the coin gradually stopped, Leo realized that Dimmit had already drawn his bow and arrows and aimed at himself!
"Die, Leo! Scorching Sun Punishment! β
Arrows of light shoot out. Seeing this, Leo did not dodge or dodge, and at the moment when the light arrow took off the bow, he saw the flight path of the light arrow clearly, erected the sandalwood dragon, and held the blade of the knife with his left hand. The light arrow was impartial, and it shot directly at the blade, and suddenly sparks flew in all directions. There was a sharp and violent grinding sound, like the roar of two weapons, and in less than a second, the victory was revealed.
Leo was pushed back by the powerful thrust of the light arrow, but in terms of hardness, the sandalwood dragon strengthened by the fire of the forest was far more powerful than the light arrow that Dimmit reduced in strength in pursuit of rapid fire. Facing the sandalwood dragon's light arrow, it was cut in half, half of it fell into the cave, half of it stuck to the ground, and it exploded at the same time, shaking the ground and collapsing a lot.
Dimmit, who was barely able to use the scorching sun, was gasping for breath, and he still didn't quite believe what he had just seen. This distance is only about twenty meters, and he has also increased the rate of fire, Leo is impossible to dodge, what should have been a must-hit blow, but he can accurately block it.
"You're really not simple, underestimate you."
"It's alright."
Leo pretended to be relaxed and replied to Dimmit's words, but in fact he was not very comfortable. Blocking the light arrow made his arm a little unbearable, and at that moment it felt like the bones of his arm were going to be compressed.
"I've practiced martial arts anyway, and I'm still very confident in my reaction, at least faster than you."
"You can see it. It feels like if you can see it clearly, you can react. β
"Pretty much."
"Then I'd like to see what you will do with an attack that you can't see clearly?"
Dimmit took a deep breath and slowly lowered his hands, the active EXP roamed the skin, and his body glowed with an imperceptible glimmer from time to time, looking like he was relaxing. Leo looked at Dimmit suspiciously, not understanding his intentions. Maybe it should be watched for a while, but Leo wants to do it quickly. Dimmit's attack can be far or near, or all-round, and if he continues to fight, he will miss sooner or later.
Li Olympian was full of strength, grasped the sandalwood dragon, and charged with steps. When approaching Dimmit, the sandalwood dragon rushed to attack with the inertia of his body. Dimmit's feet picked up and he retreated slightly, Leo caught up again, and Dimmit retreated. When Leo tried to chase for the third time, his legs suddenly stiffened, and when he looked down, his feet were frozen again.
"Do you want to do this?"
He swung the sandalwood dragon to break the ice, only to hear Dimmit's merciless mockery.
"You've been fooled!"
"What?"
As soon as the ice was shattered, a strong wind swept up dust and gravel and rallied around Leo, trapping him in the middle in an instant. Leo was being pushed around and shaking inside. He plunged the sandalwood dragon into the ground, barely making sure it wouldn't be blown down by the wind, and tried to take a step, but he couldn't get out of it, and the strong wall of wind made him almost immobile.
Everyone in the distance only saw the whirlwind blowing, and they couldn't see Leo's appearance clearly, but this was undoubtedly a danger signal, and Lin quickly gave the order.
"All fire!"
The Rescuer soldiers, who had already been loaded, shot at Dimet, who only opened a shield of light that was the size of his body, and blocked all the bullets.
"No one can save you, Leo!"
With a declaration of victory, the three coins in mid-air lowered their altitude slightly, floated near the tornado and froze, emitting lightning and crackling. In the next second, three currents flashed at the same time, burrowing into the whirlwind, and with a few clicks, an explosion occurred in the middle of the whirlwind, and the air flow dispersed the whirlwind, bringing up a puff of smoke. Leo, on the other hand, is still nowhere to be seen.
"Leo!"
Luna, who didn't know whether Leo was alive or dead, cried out in a hurry and tried to run over, but Lin held her down.
"What are you doing? Don't go over! β
"But Leo!"
"Dimmitt is still there, are you going to die?"
"It's just, there's no need to be in such a hurry."
The victorious Dimmit, with his back to the smoke, his fierce eyes and a hideous smile, stared at the lambs to the slaughter in the distance.
"He's broken, but it's commendable for daring to confront me head-on. It's that you saviors are too boring, and you still put cold guns. β
"If I can kill you this way, I have to thank God."
"Hmph, then I'll send you ...... now"
"Who are you talking about, broken bones?"
A familiar voice came from behind Dimmit, it couldn't be, Dimmit thought, and hurriedly turned around. I saw Leo, who was covered in blood and had a gray face, came out of the thick smoke, and killed Dimmit in three steps, and the sandalwood dragon took the fire of the forest and slammed it over Dimmit's head.
Dimmit hurriedly opened his light shield to resist, and the sword and shield collided, and the light shield was neutralized by the energy of the sandalwood dragon, and the shape became chaotic. Leo, who had suppressed Dimmit, turned around, the five fingers of his left hand were slightly gathered, his arm was like a whip, and the back of his hand was thrown towards Dimmit's defenseless abdomen.
With a "snap", the back of his hand hit Dimmit's stomach, retracted, turned his hand into a palm, pushed again, and then retracted, his five fingers clenched, and it was another punch. As soon as the third blow was blown, people could clearly see that the firelight of Canglin hit Dimmit's body, and the light blue firelight flashed through Dimmit's whole body in an instant, neutralizing the EXP on his body.
After a few seconds, Dimmit, which had been glowing, dimmed, like a light that went out. He bent down, clutched his stomach and coughed, and clenched his hands again, not feeling the flow of EXP, only the feeling of detachment.
"You, this ...... What kind of move is this? β
"The wind forest flows to kill the fist alive, and the cangliu cuts the iron."
"My energy, scattered?"
Dimmit clenched his hands harder, no, still not feeling the strength. The whole body was like this, and the power element of the brain seemed to be loose, and he didn't listen to the call, which he had never felt before. Leo gasped and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"This is a move specifically aimed at super people, using the EXP nature of Canglin, combined with three blows of different intensity, to hit Canglin's energy into your body and dispel your energy. Now, you won't be able to generate active EXP anytime soon. β
"Damn! Such a strong electric shock, it can't kill you? β
"It's really unfortunate, Canglin blocked one shot, Sandalwood Dragon blocked one shot, and I carried the rest myself. If the EXP weapon is used too much, the body will produce EXP resistance to some extent, and finally save a life. β
When everyone watching the battle saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the victory and defeat had been divided. Dimmit, who can't use EXP, is just an ordinary person, and he will definitely not be able to defeat Leo, not to mention that there are a number of rescuers on standby. Leo slowly relaxed.
"It's over, Dimmit. You're defeated. β
Defeated, the word reached Dimitt's ears, making his sluggish body slowly move.
"Defeated? You say I'm defeated? β
He gritted his teeth, straightened up, and gave Leo a face that would not admit defeat.
"What a joke! I'm not defeated yet! β
"Stop! If you can't use EXP, do you still think you can win me? β
"So what?" Dimmit pointed to his right eye, which was still glowing, "The effect of the engraving is not over yet, I can continue to fight!" I will never admit to losing to someone like you! β
"What if you don't admit it?"
"As long as there is an inscription, the curse will have no side effects! Do you think I can only be controlled by a curse? How is it possible, I have already mastered the way to control the curse! β
"Do you want to ......?"
Leo had a terrifying scene in his mind, and Dimmit was turning it into reality. His hand slammed into his right eye, and a low roar came from his mouth, like the cry of pain from a wounded beast. He kept thinking about it, hinting at it, putting himself back in the way he was from that day six years ago.
The thirst for power.
"Look at my ......"
Black EXP oozes from Dimitte's right eye, faster and faster, and after a while, Dimiit is encased in black light. The space around him entered the night in advance, and there was no light in sight, and his facial features were difficult to identify, only the glowing right eye allowed people to roughly see his outline. His flesh was re-energized, and it was more powerful and brutal than before.
"Curse - Partial - Liberation ββ!!"
The energy emanating from the body, spreading with pressure to all sides, deeply shocked everyone. Fear, fear from the heart, inadvertently breaks into their minds, and it grows stronger and stronger. Akya and Rin were barely able to keep their senses, and Luna and Andora turned pale, holding their heads, curled up and screaming.
Fear also sprouted in Leo's heart, but he immediately put Canglin on his forehead, endured the pain, and used the fire of Canglin to force himself to stabilize and stifle the germ of fear. Calm and calm emotions are the source of Canglin's strength, if you panic, the fire of Canglin will disappear immediately, and you will definitely die.
Next, you can only persevere.
"Whoaaaββ!!a
The roaring Dimmit waved his hand vigorously, and from the darkness around him, a black light galloped out. Leo gritted his teeth, put his right hand on his left hand, and used the barrier of the forest firelight to pick up. The impact was several times stronger than before, and his feet were pushed hard. But it was just a greeting, one black light after another, without giving Leo any respite, and smashed into the barrier one after another.
Leo tensed his muscles all over his body, resisting all the light attacks. When he finally had a chance to look up, he saw Dimmit's rushing figure, and his fist slammed into Leo's stomach from the bottom up, knocking him into the air with a single blow. Dimmit jumped up to Leo's side with his fists, raised them high, and fell down heavily, smashing them on Leo's back, knocking him into the cavern underground.
Leo, who fell rapidly, ignored the pain around him, expanded the fire of the forest, hardened it as much as possible, and hit the ground before it was fully formed, but it played a cushioning role, making him not so badly injured, at least he could move.
Seeing that Leo could still stand up, Dimmit, who was suspended in the air, waved his two hands, and four black balls of light flew from his hands to his back, each of which turned into a pair of bows and arrows, and it was carrying seven or eight arrows, shooting at the same time, and the arrows in the cave suddenly rained down.
Leo can dodge as much as he can, and if he can't dodge, he will block it, opening his bow left and right, Canglin and the sandalwood dragon are swinging non-stop, struggling in the rain of arrows, and taking several hits. On his legs, waist, and arms, the blood flowed more and more, his vision began to blur, his legs became weaker and weaker, and he almost couldn't stand.
Dimmit was obviously not satisfied, the rain of arrows did not kill Leo, he simply swooped down, plunged into the cave, saw Leo's position, kicked out, Leo raised the sandalwood dragon with both hands and barely blocked. Dimmit immediately rolled over, grabbed Leo's left hand, and injected black EXP without saying a word. The firelight of the forest was mixed with black light, and it became smaller and lighter sharply, and gradually disappeared.
Leo was shocked and wanted to break free, but he didn't have much strength, but Dimmit's hand was much stronger than just now, and he couldn't break free, and was grabbed by Dimmit's hand and thrown out. Dimmit followed closely, and the two fists slashed his head and covered his face, and he kept fighting. Leo only parried a few times, and the sandalwood dragon was sent flying!
"Die!!"
Dimmit let out a loud shout, threw his right fist back, and rushed towards Leo. Leo, who had completely lost his strength, could only close his eyes in despair.
"Whew!"
The sharp pain in his eyes interrupted Dimmit's movements, and his fist became limp, and his running body lost its balance and fell to the ground.
When the time comes, the engraving is flickering, and the restraints are weakening. Dimmit could feel that the curse was impatient, trying to break through the seal and destroy his sanity at the same time that the restraint was gone. No, I can't fight anymore.
Only one blow was missing, and the last blow, Dimmit endured the unwillingness in his heart and the instigation of the curse, gritted his teeth, quickly withdrew the black EXP on his body, and changed back to the way he was when he lost his strength. Then, the engraving disappeared completely, and the pitch-black right pupil, without any luster, reappeared.
"Count you in...... Lucky ......"
Dimmit sat down weakly and looked at Leo, who was also weak. When I opened my eyes, I found that Leo, who was immortal in the catastrophe, was still a little unrelieved.
"I thought I was going to die this time. Now, how to say? β
Dimmit, who has been partially liberated by the curse, has reached the limit of the fatigue of the power element. Although there is not much left of the influence of Cangliu Cutting Iron, he can't get any decent combat power now. What's more, there is a group of rescuers waiting for it.
"This time, it's a tie."
"Whatever you want, I don't want to fight anymore." Leo said, "But what about the Soul Finder? Even if I tell you, the savior will definitely not let go when he sees you like this, right? β
"yes, definitely not. So, I have an offer, are you interested? β
Leo frowned, a tired expression.
"Again...... Forget it, you name it. β
*****
By the time the special detachment returned to Akiyama City, it was already past 10 p.m. Leo and Akya are taken to the hospital, and as soon as Luna gets out of the car, she leads the doctors who have been on call for a long time to work, and Andora is driven home by Lynn in a panic.
Rolov then also came to the hospital, and he was going to wait outside the emergency room for news, just in time to see Dimmit. If he hadn't learned the ins and outs of the matter on the phone with Leo beforehand, he would have been scared into a cold sweat.
"Haroff Raymond Dimmit."
Dimmit also saw Rolov and recognized him at a glance as the old man in Leo's mouth.
"Is it Mayor Rolov?"
"It's me."
Rolov replied. Although Leo repeatedly assured that it was not a joke, he did not quite believe in Dimitt's decision.
"Let me make sure finally, are you really going to join the special detachment?"
"That's right." Dimmit replied simply, "It's only temporary, my purpose is to use your partnership with the Savior to get the right to use the Soul Finder, and at the same time, with the help of their intelligence network, find the fragments of Istis, and then find Istis." Until then, it is possible to assist you in your actions. β
Rolov gasped softly, not knowing if this was a surprise or a hidden danger. This proposal, if it were oneself, would not be refused. Dimmit's dedication to Istis is extraordinary, and refusal means that Akiyama City will not have a good life in the future.
"That's good, it's just that you can join, I didn't expect it."
"Me too, Mr. Rolov. The name of the domineering mayor has long been heard. Thank you for your advice in the future. β
"Each other, Dimmit. Where do you plan to stay? β
"The best hotel you have. I'm just here to say hello to you, so I'll take my leave. β
Leaving these words, Dimmit strode away, leaving Rolov alone. After standing for a while, he also walked outside the hospital, lit a cigarette for himself, and took out his mobile phone in his pocket. The phone was always on call, he spat out his cigarette and said into it.
"Hear it all, Zasent."
"I heard it, it's the same as what Lynn said, but it's a big surprise." Zasant said this, but his tone was very calm, "It is also a good thing for us to be able to cooperate with Dimmit, saving energy and manpower to deal with him in future actions." β
"It's good that you think so. What's next? It's time to get down to business, right? β
"Well, it's Martoun's box next."
The word Rolov heard several times today, and each time it gave him a headache.
"Is it okay to involve Dimmit?"
"Listening to his tone, there shouldn't be any problem, I guess he'll find out soon. He has a secret source of information that even we don't know. The news of Martonn had spread, and he wouldn't have been unaware. β
"You can do it, I just want to keep my city out of trouble."
"Does this trouble mean me?"
"Hmph, it's pretty self-aware. You're one too. β
"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. See you tomorrow. β
"See you tomorrow."
*****
The first time he saw Zasent, Rolov still remembers it vividly. It was the National Day of 10 years ago, the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Arctic Nation and the first National Day since the current Prime Minister of the Arctic Empire, Troissa Walch, took office. In order to fulfill the slogan of "making the Arctic Kingdom the center of the world" during his election campaign, the new prime minister, who has been in office for less than a year, deliberately organized a National Day celebration of unprecedented scale, attracting visitors from all over the world, and even the world government sent a delegation of 120 people to participate.
Among this delegation was Zasente, who was then the captain of the first detachment of the Thunder Army's independent operation.
On National Day, the delegation went to Newer, the capital of the Arctic Kingdom, and flew to Akiyama two days later. As they stepped off the plane, Rolov greeted him with a smile and everyone smiled and shook Rolov's hand. Gentle laughter, superficial laughter, pompous laughter, sincere laughter, and even mocking laughter, Rolov saw it all.
He'd seen them countless times over the past few decades. Although it is a major event, in his eyes, it is just an opportunity to deal with these "distinguished guests" from the world government and take the opportunity to bring more benefits to Akiyama City.
Only Zasente made Rolov's eyes light up and impressed. He didn't smile, and gave Rolov a stiff, tired expression. The two looked at each other for only two seconds, but Rolov smelled the sophistication and vicissitudes of life from this person.
At the evening banquet, more than 120 people gathered together and made a lot of noise. Rolov did not like the chaotic environment, but he had to do his best to be a landlord, and the etiquette of his face had to be taken care of. Just as he was toasting from table to table, he suddenly noticed Zasent. The young man finished his meal quickly, got up and left.
His actions intrigued Rolov. The old mayor made an excuse to leave his seat and came outside the venue. Zasant didn't go far, leaning against the wall of the hallway, pulling out his cigarette. Rolov walked over and asked with a smile.
"Need fire, young man?"
Zasant was a little surprised, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Mayor, I have it myself." β
"Then lend me one."
"No problem."
Rolov also took out the cigarette roll and held it in his mouth. Instead of holding a lighter, Zasant stretched out his index finger, and small flames jumped out of his fingertips, pulsing, like a lighter. Zasant lit a cigarette for the astonished Rolov, then his own, and pinched his fingers to extinguish the flames.
"It's a superhuman, it really scares me."
"Mr. Mayor, forgive me, I'm used to this."
"But you don't seem to be used to having dinners, huh?"
"Mr. Mayor saw that?"
"yes. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I'm very concerned about young people, especially those who have the ability and personality. β
Zasant was silent for a moment, then took two gulps. After a long time, he suddenly asked.
"I heard that Mr. Mayor has been in politics for decades and is quite influential in the political circles of the Arctic Country, and his experience must be richer than mine."
"Haha, sort of, at least this age is not false."
"I have something I want to ask."
"Well said."
"If, I mean if," Zasant emphasized in particular, lest Rolov misunderstand something, "what would you do if one day you found that what you had been trying to protect, or create, and what you were holding ontoβsomething that might be what you had originally intended? β
What an abstract question. When he got off the plane, Zasant looked preoccupied, was it because he was thinking about this question? No wonder he couldn't laugh. I haven't even thought much about this kind of problem. However, as an elder, you can't be embarrassed in front of young people. With the strength of the wine, Rolov blurted out.
"It's complicated. But if you want me to say, what should be given up, must be given up. At the very least, I've worked so hard to make this city what I want it to be, not something else. If it's not what I want, of course I'll have to tear it down and start over! β
"But you, are you willing? It's like ......"
"Like a denial of your past efforts? Haha, such a forward-looking idea is not the mentality that young people should have. β
Rolov said, slapping Zasent's shoulder hard, as if to cheer him up.
"I'm an old man, and I'm not afraid to start all over again. Seeing that you are in your early 30s, are you afraid that you don't have time to work hard? β
Perhaps inspired by Rolov's words, Zasent's tense expression relaxed. The two no longer talked about serious topics, but chatted like friends. Rolov found Zasente ambitious, courageous, and capable, a man capable of great things, and he was glad that he had been able to meet such a young talent.
Five months later, Rolov found out that the young man had really done something big, too big to imagine. When he saw the news headline "The first detachment of the independent operation of the Thunder Army defected, and the captain Zasente led the whole team to flee", Rolov did not know what to say. He understood the true meaning of Zasent's question five months ago, and couldn't help but wonder if it was his impassioned words that made Zasente make up his final mind.
Five days later, Rolov had the opportunity to ask Zazant himself directly - he suddenly appeared at Rolov's door and opened his mouth to ask for money. Rolov was confused by Zasent's words, but after thinking about it, he still did not call the police, but let Zazent into the house to listen to his story.
Zasent's words made Rolov fall into deep thought, complete contemplation. He smoked three cigarettes in a row without saying a word, thinking, thinking over and over again. He had never hesitated like this, but this time, he really couldn't jump to conclusions.
"Well, I agree, but only if ......"
"Don't expose you, I know."
This conversation has built the current relationship between the two.
After the establishment of the Savior, Zasant would occasionally come to Rolov, mostly asking him for help, sometimes to help him, and sometimes just to chat and meet. In a blink of an eye, the young people of that year also became middle-aged. Thinking of the past days, Rolov couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Mayor, are you here?"
Akya's voice came from behind him, and Rolov turned around, a little surprised.
"Akeya? Doesn't it matter what your injuries are? β
"Just bandage it, it's not a big deal. The captain's injuries were much worse than mine. β
"Don't worry, that kid died on his own. Since it's okay, you should go back and rest early. My name is Junsha, and she's waiting for you in the parking lot. β
Rolov pointed in one direction, but Akya did not move. He had something to say, and Rolov saw it.
"What's wrong, Akeya?"
"I have something I want to discuss with the mayor."
There's a young man here who needs a little more encouragement, Rolov thought.
"What's the matter?"
"I want to apply for a set of special weapons and equipment."
"Specialized weaponry?"
"I didn't play my part in today's mission, and there are reasons why I wasn't able to do it. But I think that with the existing armament, it is really difficult to cope with difficult tasks. I know it's selfish to say that, but I beg Mr. Mayor for help! β
When he listened to Leo's report, Rolov heard it. Andora finds the Finder, Leo and Dimiit fight off the Black Army, and Luna helps the wounded suppress their injuries, except for Akeya, who seems to have been wounded without much help.
The young man's anxiety reached Rolov's heart through a few words.
"You have a point, Akeya, I'll do it quickly. But you can't be in a hurry, understand? β
As if Rolov was talking about the matter, Akya bowed his head.
"I just want to do more."
"It's a good momentum. But remember, you are one, no one will inevitably miss, you have to rely on your companions more, there is no need to carry everything by yourself. If you have retired from the army, you will not fail to understand this truth. β
"I ...... Got it. β
"That's good. Your legs still need to be rested, although you are not hospitalized, and you should not mess around at home. Go ahead. β
"Well, goodbye, Lord Mayor."
Akya, who said goodbye to Rolov, returned home in Junsha's car.
This leg injury was not a problem for Akeya, and he was able to go up the stairs at the same speed as usual. As he walked through the door of Luna and Leo's house, he stood for a moment, then opened the door to his house and lay down on the bed as soon as he entered.
In the middle of the night, Akya stood up again and dragged a suitcase from under the bed. This was the smaller of the two suitcases that Karp handed him when he saw him off. Akya opened it, and lying inside was a pitch-black garment, and an equally pitch-black belt.
Leaving the base in a hurry, Karp told him only that the box contained equipment that contained the most cutting-edge technology of the Silver Wing. On the way to the airport, he opened his suitcase, worried that he would not be able to pass through security because of the weapons inside. And when he found out that it was a piece of clothing inside, he was relieved and suspicious.
After settling in the town of Gebula, Akya took out this dress more than once and tried it on, the size and shape of the body were basically the same, leather, and the whole body was pitch black, as black as a moonless night. Other than that, there's nothing special. Akya doesn't know if it's bulletproof, but even if it does, it's too ordinary. As for the belt, it is no different from a normal belt.
Now, with her clothes and belt in her hands again, the question in her heart arose again - did the colonel make a mistake? These two ordinary things that can't be more ordinary can be the high-tech crystallization of the Silver Wing Army?
Akya also wanted to ask Karp, but after all, he had left the Blades as a deserter and could no longer contact Karp. The authenticity of these two things cannot be confirmed.
Thinking of this, he depressedly packed his things back into his suitcase.
