Chapter 231: Just a sword
"Mr. Connie, see you again."
Old Connie sat in the lobby of the hotel drinking, and Liu Ci naturally greeted: "If I remember correctly, your shop is not a short distance from this hotel, and it is really a coincidence to meet you here." β
Old Connie struggled to open his cloudy eyes and looked at Liu Ci with a disapproving expression: "If I were you, I would definitely not choose to leave the Holy Land Port in this way." β
The smile on Liu Ci's face suddenly turned cold, "You have something to do with the Holy See." β
Old Connie lowered his eyes and put a few pieces of boiled soft broad beans into his mouth, "The entire Bright Continent has a relationship with the Holy See, and the Holy See has deeply rooted its roots deep into the ground for thousands of years...... I am an old immortal who is still alive, and since I live in the Bright Continent, I naturally have something to do with the Holy See. β
Old Connie said it bluntly, Liu Ci didn't want to pretend anymore, she quickly probed her sense, but Old Connie, who was surrounded by spiritual power, still drank wine and sandwiched broad beans unhurriedly.
There was no spiritual defense around him, and Liu Ci's divine consciousness could enter and leave his body freely. However, what Liu Ci "saw" in his eyes, skin, bones and blood, was really an old man without pretense.
There was no resistance, and there was no counteroffensive.
Liu Ci's divine consciousness turned into a needle and a sword, there was no difference to him, let Liu Ci's illness be like a storm, and old Connie was as immobile as a mountain, Liu Ci's divine consciousness turned around, and he hadn't found out half of his confidence.
"I'm no match for you."
Liu Ci admitted defeat very bluntly, but there was arrogance that could not be depicted on the raised eyebrows: "But I will not return to the Holy Land Port at your command, if you want to take me away, at most you can only take my corpse." β
Although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, Liu Ci can't lose face.
Rather than be captured, she would rather die with her enemies...... Old Connie's strength is unfathomable, at least he is on the same level as her grandfather, even if Liu Ci can't hurt him with all the talismans, the civilian street where this inn is located will probably suffer heavy losses.
Unless, the other party can restrain her in one fell swoop and prevent her talisman from having a chance to make a move.
Liu Ci's whole body was as tense as a bowstring, but Old Connie finished eating the whole plate of boiled broad beans before he raised his head and smiled: "Although I have a relationship with the Holy See, the Holy See still can't ask me to make a move, or rather, you can't let the Holy See alarm me now." If the Holy See is like a lake, you are just a small drop of water at this time, you are not as important as you imagined, I just passed by here, and I will remind you by the way - don't go against the Holy See, if you want to live freely, you must first have the strength to straighten your back! β
After saying that, Old Connie slowly stood up and walked to the door. Liu Ci was confused by his attitude, and the other party was just about to step out and suddenly paused.
Liu Ci felt that the talisman in her sleeve was buzzing and trembling, and an invisible pressure made her want to throw the talisman out desperately.
"Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask you if you could treat me to this plate of broad beans and two glasses of wine...... When people are old, they always forget to bring money when they go out. β
Liu Ci nodded with a dull look in his eyes, and Old Connie was very satisfied and walked away. His steps were unhurried, he landed silently, and he was even a little hunchbacked, but until he couldn't see his back, Liu Ci's vigilance didn't dare to lift.
What is this, a kind reminder?
She couldn't understand Old Connie's position, faintly for her good? Don't be funny, how can there be love for no reason in this world, although there is no discipline, she is not cheeky and thinks that she has a face that everyone loves.
If you don't understand something, Liu Ci won't waste her energy. She also admits that Connie Sr. has a point, but there are some things that no one is her, and everyone's personality is different, and the decisions they make will be different.
According to common sense, she should have hurried out of Douala City at this time, but she found an inn to rest.
She rode a tall horse in the city of Douala without concealing her whereabouts, and found the largest inn to stay, of course, not deliberately trying to slap the Holy See in the face.
In fact, Liu Ci is just waiting for someone, waiting for an old man who has to come.
Old Connie ate a plate of broad beans and drank two glasses of ordinary white wine, which did not add up to more than a silver coin. Liu Ci ordered the most expensive meal in the inn, the most tender lamb chops on a silver plate, the iceberg wild milk that grew up in snow water and nibbled on moss, and the tea soup with cinnamon and pepper, which is said to be the oldest way to drink tea a thousand years ago.
She also opened a bottle of famous wine worth hundreds of gold coins, and the red wine was poured into a goblet, and the taste was very good, but unfortunately the effect was not as good as the soju made from worthless sweet potatoes.
Lamb short ribs are grilled just right, with rosemary and lemon juice giving it a layered taste, and eating and drinking at Port Sanctuary Amster's parish office is obviously not so luxurious.
Eating lamb chops and taking a sip of wine, Liu Ci's dining etiquette can't be faulted, and her unique demeanor even attracts the frequent attention of the guests at the next table.
"It's not polite to say that, but I really recommend that you hurry up your meal...... It will soon become unsafe here, and I hope you will forgive me for my painstaking advice. β
She put down her knife and fork and said to the other guests in a serious manner. Although he was laughing, he was laughing creepy. Sure enough, there were timid guests who went back to their rooms after eating the food in three or two, and of course, some people laughed at Liu Ci in their hearts for being cunning and didn't pay attention to her at all.
Liu Ci was not reluctant, and continued to pick up the knife and fork to eat.
When she had drunk half of the mushroom soup on her plate, a tall figure walked through the door of the inn.
He had a handsome appearance and personable demeanor, but at this time, his face was gloomy and intimidating. The person who came wore a big sword at his waist and walked straight towards Liu Ci, and the guests who thought that Liu Ci was playing tricks before also had a few hairs in their hearts.
When you go out, no one wants to cause trouble. Except for a few who were very bold, the diners left one after another in a short time. There were only three or two kittens left in the huge restaurant, and Liu Ci didn't put down the spoon until he drank the last spoonful of soup.
Looking at the murderous man, Liu Ci even brought a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Marquis, you are too late, the chef has probably gone back to rest." But I told them to make a supper, and if you're lucky, you might be able to get a delicious snack. β
The Marquis put the big sword on the table, "Yes, tonight's supper, between you and me, there will only be one person who can taste it, and I believe that person must be Benjue." β
Liu Ci spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "This kind of thing, it can't be done by luck, I hope the God of Light can protect you." β
The Marquis looked at the smiling young face on the other side for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Rachel, don't you really want to know the news of your mother?" If you die by my sword in a moment, it will be your eternal regret. β
Liu Ci sneered, "Are you old, I have clearly emphasized several times that I am not Rachel Lorenz...... Or have you really done too many bad things and are particularly scared of anyone who might be an orphan of the Lorenz family? If you still don't believe me, then I can't help it, maybe you can only ask Mr. Lorenz yourself after you die if I am his daughter...... Oh, I almost forgot, the Lorenz family probably returned to the arms of the god of light, and if you die, you may not be able to see the god of light. β
Marquis of Strave Huo Ran got up and instantly drew his long sword: "Liu Ci, your sword is there, draw your sword, I am willing to have a life-and-death duel between martial artists with you!" β
Liu Ci pushed away the cutlery in his hand, slowly stood up straight, and looked at the marquis with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
If he thinks that verbal provocation will allow him not to use the "magic scroll", I have to say that Monsieur Marquis is too naΓ―ve. However, even if he is crooked, for Liu Ci at this time, every talisman is extremely precious, and she can't afford to waste it on Marquis Strave.
"Where can I use a sword against you?" Liu Ci sighed quietly and took out the ink bamboo from the space.
There were four feet of bamboo, and the marquis didn't find out where Liu Ci had taken it from. However, a thin bamboo stick could not cause panic to the marquis.
Liu Ci also pointed at the other party with the ink bamboo, the most ordinary plant was the most extraordinary weapon in her hand - it was his honor for the marquis to die under the ink bamboo sword, Liu Ci was even afraid that his blood would pollute this spiritual bamboo!
"Cheng-"
The Marquis's long sword moved, and the sharp blade could even cut through the air, and this sword was like a rainbow, and it was the most powerful critical attack for a great swordsman.
The remnants of the lamp, the huge restaurant, and even the few brave diners who didn't leave, did not exist in the eyes of the marquis at this time.
There was still a long dining table between him and Liu Ci, but there was only Liu Ci left in his eyes - of course, it was not love, nor was it all hate, it was the realm of selflessness of the Great Sword Master.
With just one sword, Liu Ci could appreciate the progress of the marquis. Compared to the night battle at Streiff Manor two years ago, the Marquis has improved more than a small step.
However, Liu Ci was not the same as she was at that time, the difference between the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building, and the difference between crossing mountains and mountains every morning to train physical skills...... The imposing swordsmanship is full of flaws in her eyes!
In an instant, the marquis's long sword arrived, Liu Ci did not retreat, nor did she resist the enemy, her waist leaned back at a strange right angle, and her upper body almost became parallel to the surface.
A sword missed, the corners of the marquis's mouth were slightly upturned, and his wrist sank, as if he had seen Liu Ci being cut into two pieces by the long sword.
The blade of the sword broke through the air, but Liu Ci twisted to the side.
The marquis's second move was still at the beginning, Liu Ci flicked his wrist, and the ink bamboo infused with spiritual power was faintly shiny and flowing. The Marquis finally felt compelled to pay attention to the swarthy bamboo, but the edgeless tip of the bamboo was already stabbing at him in the chest.
Liu Ci's sword, said slowly, he just didn't have time to return the sword to resist; Saying quickly, it stabbed straight at a speed that he could see with the naked eye.
There was no expense, no complication, and it was just a stab in the chestβthe marquis heard that something had pierced the fabric of his chest, and without hesitation, he stabbed him in the chest, and the cold bamboo end stabbed into the heart that was circulating boiling blood!
Pain? can't say it, Liu Ci's wrist moved slightly, and the dark bamboo stirred in his heart.
The marquis hunched over, a few drops of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
He was a depressed young man, and he got a little chance to learn martial arts from a great swordsman. When he was young, he married the only daughter of a small aristocratic family, and when the Stlev family died, he inherited the title of the Stlev family as a side branch.
Although he inherited the title of other people, he was unwilling to take over the troubles left by the heirs, so his family moved to Rhine City. At that time, the city of the Rhine was almost the world of the Lorenz family, and he and the head of the Lorenz family hit it off at first sight, and the two families often had some contacts...... Later, many black-clothed monks suddenly came to the Rhine City, and they opened their mouths to take away the daughter of the head of the Lorenz family. There is also a legend that the Lorenz family still holds the mage tower left by the ancestors and has not handed it over, and a royal envoy has come to him privately to ask him to testify against the Lorenz family...... Later, the lord of the Rhine City was given the surname Stref.
The marquis's life flashed in front of his eyes like a flash, his eyes widened, staring at Liu Ci in disbelief - his life was so extraordinary, but he only needed a simple sword to die, how could he accept it!
Liu Ci took back the ink bamboo, picked up the napkin on the dining table and wiped the bamboo end clean.
Killing just one Stlev, just one sword, no more, wouldn't it be to lift the other party?!
This is not the first time Liu Ci has killed people since she crossed over, and it will not be the last time she kills for the rest of her life, so Liu Ci is very calm.
However, the diners in the restaurant who only stayed to watch the game were not as calm as her, and several people looked around in panic, staggered away, and shouted:
"Dead! β¦β¦ Someone was killed......"
