——————————————————

Twilight became more familiar with the terrain around her, and led Anne through the forest at a rapid pace, making a few turns before finally letting go of the crowd of stalkers. The two men found a small glade.

"If you win, I'll hand you Ah Yuan's letter! If you lose, I will also give you the letter, but you have to take back the ring on Ah Yuan's hand, I hope you can all stand at the same starting point and compete fairly! Anne tossed two practice swords, then took out a letter and showed it.

"You said you had a letter from Ah Yuan to me?" Twilight excitedly asks the letter, and then she touches the "Elona's Ring" in her pocket. What she asked was Lu Yuan's life and death. And not letters.

Twilight was worried because what she had seen in the Friendly Arm was so amazing! Except for Lu Yuan's people and magic books. Everything was neatly laid out on the bed, underwear, robes, spell materials, and "Alona's Ring". And the kind of crystalline but fragile detritus that is everywhere. It didn't look like a disappearance, it looked more like a ...... Shattered, if it weren't for Nini still alive and healthy, and being able to feel Lu Yuan's breath occasionally, she would almost have gone crazy.

Now that she finally has the exact news, remembering that this "childhood sweetheart" actually contacted Ah Yuan earlier than her, Twilight gradually tasted the bitterness that welled up in her heart. She hung the double sword built by Lu Yuan on the tree, reached out to pick up the practice long sword and responded: "I promise you." If I lose, I'll keep that ring for myself. ”

"I swear to love to death." Anne prayed with her sword. Twilight was silent with her sword in her hand, and then Anne said viciously, "But he didn't swear!" ”

After speaking, a sword slashed down, and the left sword of Twilight Star was in a fight, and the two of them fought back and forth.

With decades of teaching by the legendary ranger teacher and the experience of slaying evil creatures in the Northland, Twilight Star swordsmanship is very exquisite, but he is used to using the long sword created by Lu Yuan, and then using an ordinary sword will be very awkward. And Anne is after the level is cleared. After three years of re-practice, not only does he have the same teachings of the Twilight Master Craftsman, but he also has a deep foundation and rich experience.

One is superb in swordsmanship and the other is experienced, and the two of them are actually on a par.

"It's not murderous. There is hesitation in my heart, and the two of them are tied at most", the two old men squatting in the woods. Master Craftsman Frederick? Shiraki said to the priest.

"We'll leave the young man's business alone." Then the priest dragged the master craftsman to the depths of the forest.

As long as the two best young people in the church are fine, compete for men or something...... It's far less worrying for them than competing for women.

Just when the two of them were about to hit the real fire. "Meow!" The little black cat, who was standing on the side of the book watching the battle, suddenly let out a scream, and a cloud of light enveloped her. Nini struggled, but the light grew tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong! Nini! Nini's father, Ah Fu, pounced, but was blocked by the light. He was in a hurry to leap into the shadows, but he jumped out of the shadows, unable to enter the light. In the light, the shadows are nowhere to be hidden, lacking the shadows of jumping. At this time, the alarmed Twilight Star and Anne both put down their swords and hurriedly surrounded them.

"That's Ah Yuan's magic pet! The daughter of my friend Ah Fu. Twilight didn't forget to introduce it.

Anne pouted in dissatisfaction, and then said, "That seems to be a mage's spell to summon a demon pet, right?" Is Ah Yuan calling her? ”

"Meow?" Nini suddenly stopped struggling, and sniffed at the light door suspiciously, and there was a familiar and friendly atmosphere coming from it, as well as ...... Explosive fishing?

"Meow, meow!" Nini turned to Ah Fu and Twilight Star and shouted at each other, and then jumped into the unfolded light gate on her own, and the light gate disappeared.

"Is it ......?" Twilight asked, surprised.

"It's that bastard! He has returned to this world. And then, just took my daughter away! Bastard! Ah Fu, who had been robbed of his daughter, replied sullenly.

Aha~, Twilight Star threw down the practice sword and sat on the grass by himself against the roots, no longer wanting to fight.

The guy ...... He's back.

***************

"Do you like ...... No, do you love him? ”

After reading the letter brought by Annie and the intermittent news from Nini, after confirming that Lu Yuan was unharmed, Twilight Star no longer had the desire to continue fighting, and even the argument became irrelevant. Because I don't want to go back now, because I will be watched by many women. The two women began to sit under the tree and chat casually, and found that they had a lot in common with each other, or Lu Yuan had his own standards for finding a girlfriend.

He had been careful to avoid the topic of Lu Yuan before, but Twilight couldn't help but ask.

"You know, as I told you, my past life was constantly fighting and fighting on the edge of life and death."

Twilight nodded, and after the previous exchange, Twilight learned that Anne came from a world where she could only survive by constant fighting, and that she had been summoned to this world by the goddess Alona. Twilight vaguely guessed that this should be a preparation for the great changes in the world of this world. Just as Alona had asked her if she wanted to go to other worlds.

Did Lu Yuan come back because of this?

"After so many battles, you must be an incomparably strong fighter." Looking at Anne's armor, Twilight said heartily.

"Strong? Hahaha, how is that possible. This accumulation of battles will never make you strong, and you will start with constant nightmares, fears, and retreats. When you know that everything is useless, you become angry, you become desperate, and then you ...... Numbness. At that time, those of us ...... Indulge in pleasure when you live, and be fearless when you die, but that's not called being strong, it's just numbness. ”

Twilight was silent, she couldn't imagine that kind of life, and she touched her finger to the wrought copper pattern on the shoulder of Anne's armor, the kind of tinkering technique she had seen. Newly created armor often has a smooth mirror-like surface, except for the family ornament. With the battle and breakage, in order to repair the damage, it was necessary to fill the damaged area with wrought copper and retouch it to look like a pattern. Others are made into buckles, or made into bayonets to attach new armor pieces to the outside. Often, the more battle-packed the armor, the more ornate and intricate it is on the surface, but the traces of repair can still be seen, which is not the same as the fancy armor of the aristocrats who pretend to be pretty.

Until the strength of the original armor can no longer be sustained, it will then become a treasure in the family treasure room. (To be continued......)
