Chapter 4: Lonely and Guarded!
"Wait a minute."
The knock on the door fell for only a moment, and a clear and quiet voice was accompanied by a slight fluctuation of fighting energy, which sounded in the ears of Chu Lie and the others, followed by steady footsteps.
Whoop -
After the sound of the chains being undone, the wooden door was gently opened, revealing a young face - with beautiful eyebrows, but strong enough, with short blond hair, and the leather armor on his body was quite old, but it was very clean.
His gaze swept over, and the young man's expression was slightly stunned, and then he took a step back and opened the wooden door directly.
"Your Excellency the Adjudicator...... And this knight, sorry, just under the inner room, did not hear ......"
In the apologetic voice, the young man's right hand gently tapped on his heart, slightly attached to the salute, and his movements and demeanor were as standard as a reproduction in a textbook, his eyebrows were solemn and meticulous.
"Thank you for your understanding."
"It's okay...... Dylan, you don't need that. ”
His face softened, the old knight shook his head slightly, and stepped into the courtyard first, while Chu Lie followed silently, his gaze swept over the back of the young man Dylan's hand.
An emblem in the shape of a winged shield was engraved there, a thick and tenacious will, clear even from a distance of several meters.
Welcoming Chu Lie and the old knight all the way into the house, Dylan poured two glasses of water and gently placed them in front of the two.
"Sorry...... I only have Qing Shui here, and I really didn't expect the two of you to come suddenly and I was not prepared. ”
“…… Enjoy will corrode the knight's will, making the shield no longer strong...... I still know the temperament of your family. ”
Shaking his head, the old knight picked up the water cup in his hand, raised his neck and drank the water, then pointed to Chu Lie, who was sitting silently behind him, and said in a deep voice: "My disciple, Chu Lie, once followed me to practice for two years seven years ago. ”
"You were practicing with your father and brother outside, so you haven't seen it."
After a pause, the old man's voice became solemn:
"The Lonely Heir."
"Huh?!"
Dylan's expression was stunned, as if he had thought of something, his eyes froze, his back was slightly straightened, and a heavy momentum like a mountain slowly rose from this knight who looked like Chu Lie was the same age:
"Then, your Excellency is ...... today"
"Lonely courage and protection, the strongest spear, and the strongest shield, the spear and shield of this generation, should meet in the way of your ancestors."
The porcelain cup in the old knight's hand was gently placed on the table, and then it directly collapsed in the next moment, and the sharp fragments like blades swirled, bringing a gust of wind towards Chu Lie and Dylan.
The pure white flame scorched on it, and the sense of crisis that instantly overflowed in his heart made Chu Lie's pupils shrink suddenly, and the fierce energy spontaneously roared, stirring the crumb to pieces, and on the other side, the thick aura like a barrier suddenly rose to the ground, and the calloused palm stretched out, holding the quick crumb directly, and then clenched.
Click~
With a crisp sound, the broken porcelain pieces that burned the pure white flame were directly crushed into crumbs.
In the small house, one sharp, the other heavy, two powerful breaths rose, and almost when the level of these two breaths reached a certain threshold, two rays of light, one black and one white, bloomed brightly.
Buzz Buzz......
The right hand trembled slightly uncontrollably, and a rich black light surged wildly from the emblem on the back of Chu Lie's hand, fighting to the death, lonely and brave, the sword pointed out, and the will to die rather than retreat roared and rose, and directly turned into a male lion behind Chu Lie, and at the same time, wisps of white light feathers bloomed and slipped down from the front of the male lion.
Hula~
The pure light formed wings and spread out in front of Chu Lie, and the bright white light flashed with bright brilliance in Chu Lie's pupils~
Rumble!!!
A huge aura rose into the sky, but before it could fully rise, it was blocked by two other more mellow breaths.
The old knight sat upright at the wooden table, the long sword lying horizontally on the table was unsheathed an inch, and an old man with a gentle face appeared behind Dylan at some point, and under the white holy light, the golden words on the cuffs seemed to have spirituality, and they couldn't help swimming.
"Don't worry......"
The Pope smiled gently, and the layers of translucent light expanded in an instant, protecting the house at the very edge of the outer city.
"As long as it's still in the realm of competition, there won't be any problems."
While!
A simple knight's sword was raised, and it gently struck on the giant shield flowing with white streamers, splashing a wave of holy light~
Dylan got up and meticulously saluted Chu Lie as a knightly battler, his eyes were still silent, but his voice fluctuated with a strange twist.
"Qing Instruction, Knight Chu Lie."
What answered him was the long sword that was suddenly raised, the blade of the sword couldn't stop humming, and in the black streamer, the armor full of murderous aura instantly wrapped Chu Lie's body.
Crash~
Behind him, the black cloak fluttered in the wind.
Chu Lie's voice fell quietly.
"Please~"
The next moment, with the sound of sharp swords, the two standard knight swords collided fiercely, sparks in all directions, but in an instant, it was a more intense and rapid confrontation.
With the swaying pure white and light blue, it unfolds in the courtyard~
………………
At the same time, the Pope looked at the two sword lights entangled in the small courtyard, and slowly paced to the wooden table, the smile on his old face was still gentle, but his words were full of unconcealed pride.
"Tut-tut, there is no preparation at all, you brought Chu Lie over here, aren't you afraid of accidents?"
"Fortunately, I expected it~"
The corner of the old knight's slashed eyes twitched, and the palm of the hand that cleaned up the broken porcelain slices shook slightly.
“…… Voyeurs who deserve hell ......"
The Pope's smile froze.
While!!!
A huge explosion sounded on the side, followed by a wave of angry qi, in the air wave, a sword and a shield stalemate for a while, but disappeared in an instant, and the sound of metal popping suddenly started in another place.
Hulala~
The white robe on his body was blown and drummed by the air waves, and the pope's eyes looked at the two criss-crossing sword lights, narrowed slightly, and still had that kind of incoherent smile on his face, turning his back to the old knight who was sitting straight, and slowly spoke.
"If I remember correctly, Dylan's grandfather was your comrade-in-arms, and his father was a knight who charged under you?"
In a gentle voice, the Pope moved his footsteps, facing the interior of the wooden house, his eyes open, always smiling, and his eyes clear, looking at his old friend, who was standing upright but silent.
"That's what you want...... Did Dylan fail fiasco? ”
While!!!
The clear explosion sounded again, and the next moment, the pale cyan light suddenly brightened, suppressing the pure white burning light flame~
PS: The guardian knight who appears in this chapter starred in the friendship of the book friend Kitata-chan in the group, thank you~
