Eric, who learned that he wouldn't see the gun god this time, was furious.

Trembling with anger. And for a detective, it's bad because a good detective needs to be clear-headed at all times. Although this incident clearly exceeded his endurance, it was beyond the limit of what he could bear.

"Old ...... Mr. I didn't know the rule that only one person could see the gun god at a time. No one has ever explained to me, and you just suddenly mentioned that I was bothered. And to be reasonable, it was clear that I passed your challenge. Why would you want Anthrite to be qualified to meet the Spear God?

I have a lot of respect for you. But you're also being a little more biased. Was it meant that I was holding that place so that Anthrite could enter the passage? just because she's Miss Pelos and I'm just a nobody?"

In the face of Eric's cross-examination, the old man was extremely calm.

I saw the old man wondering: "Challenge? I didn't let you do any challenges." ”

Quibble.

"Didn't you ask me to explain the principle of the python? ”

"Oh, that's it. I think you're mistaken. I shot you just to scare you. But I didn't expect you to answer the right principle. Sending you a python is also due to my momentary mood. How it became what challenges you passed. ”

The old man looked serious, not like he was lying, "Besides, I'm from the Pelos family. If you don't favor Miss, will you still be biased? Miss finally came here, no matter what you say, you can't let her come in vain. As much as I admire you as a clever boy, you are naturally less important than Miss. ”

It makes sense.

To be able to bring this kind of thing together openly, it seems that the old man's face is as thick as the snow of the northern forest.

Eric laughed angrily, but what could he do.

All he can do is accept the result and obediently wait for the next opportunity.

This feeling is unusually familiar.

Yes. It was the days in Conceid. He can feel this feeling every night when he is robbed of the results of solving the case by Inspector Edit.

Speaking of which, Eric's lack of affection for the Holy Capital is partly due to the damned boss and partly due to the tale of two cities dictated by Jussi. In the mouth of the six-pointed star, Pylos has always been a weak image who has been bullied by Ode. And during his trip to the Holy Capital, he also experienced that this is true.

And Pelos, who has always been in the position of the weak and claims to be the capital of freedom, actually has the same deeds as Oude.

"Excuse me, after your eldest lady saw the spear god, did she also come out of this hidden path. ”

Eric's tone was calm. It seems that he does not intend to delve any further.

"That's right. ”

The old man is light and breezy. Even when he saw the young man opposite's eyes like torches, he simply engraved this matter in his heart.

"Yes, then I'll wait. ”

The two kept a delicate distance and were at peace with each other.

But after a while, something strange happened.

From a certain moment, the entire building trembled slightly with the faintly audible sound of gunshots.

The old man sat there peacefully, unresponsive. Eric, on the other hand, quickly approached the closed passageway, moved the empty shelves out of the way, and pressed his ear to the wall.

After a few seconds, he confirmed that the voice was coming from behind him.

"What's going on?" Eric asked the old man next to him, his wrinkled face looking like an insider.

"That's not a question for me. You are so smart, think carefully about the purpose of the young lady's meeting with the spear god. ”

The old man couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Eric frowned. Anthrite didn't reveal anything to him before she came, only said that she would come with her. But now listening to the movement inside, she was clearly caught in a fight.

The question is, who is she fighting against?

Eric asked, "Isn't there any other challenge waiting for her?" ”

"No, it's only the Spear God himself. The old man did not hide it, and said firmly.

Interesting.

In this way, the answer is coming.

Jusis had told Eric that since Anthrite had been assassinated many times, she had been researching how to deal with the most cutting-edge weapons of the era. And after practice, she finally reached the point where she could easily dodge and cut bullets. Anthrite had been training with Padett's turning bullet just before she arrived, and that was a good fit for her.

I'm afraid, Anthralis urgently needs to find a strong man with a gun to test his strength.

And the gun god is the man who knows how to use guns in the world.

Thinking back to the resolute eyes of Anthrite before entering the passage, all the clues seemed to point to one place.

Anthrite wants to challenge the god of guns.

Eric's blood boiled, and he didn't realize that he had forgotten the injustice he had suffered. Frankly, he would have liked to watch the fight from the sidelines. After all, not everyone can see Mr. Sword Shengqiu's students fighting against the Spear God.

Thorn Flower Anthralis or Spear God Colt, who is stronger?

Needless to say, of course, it's the god of guns. Eric's idol is not going to lose.

Time passed minute by minute, and the old man yawned halfway through and said that he was sleepy, and he buried himself in the sea of parts when he walked back. Eric also allowed his strange actions.

Half an hour later, the roar of the fighting died down.

The entrance of the passage slowly opened, and the figure of Anthrite appeared there, the mask on her face out of nowhere. This is not difficult to explain, in addition to the reason for showing identity, the mask that interferes with the vision will become a big obstacle in battle, and only by taking it off can you exert 100% of your strength.

In addition, Anthracene was covered in scars and her steps were vain. It seems to be exactly as Eric predicted.

Anthracene was defeated.

Even so, Eric had to reassess her strength. Being able to stand for half an hour under that spear god's hand is already a strength that should not be underestimated.

"It's already good. ”

Eric uttered a reassuring word.

Anthrite shook her head and said, "I'm dead." With that, he fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.

This frightened Eric, who hurried to check it out.

Fortunately, Anthrite's words are not credible, and her injuries are fine. Although there are many injuries on his body, most of them are only abrasions and sprains. Only the bullet wound near the left clavicle was more severe, and blood flowed. But as long as the bleeding is stopped in time, it is at least a few miles away from hurting lives.

Eric judged that Anthrite should not be able to resist the spear god's fierce attack, and fell to the ground with all his strength.

But is that the truth? Eric always thought something strange.

looked at the unconscious anthracene, although offended, but in order to treat her wounds, he had to tear the clothes near her shoulders hard.

It's just that the garment has been very broken after a fierce battle, and Eric's strength is a little stronger, which actually exposes the entire back of Anthrite to the air. As a result, Eric immediately muttered two sentences that he did not mean to offend and ask for forgiveness. But what is shocking is that it is not the beautiful skin of the beautiful woman that appears under the clothes.

A deep, long scar, judging by the marks, was an old knife wound. It stretches from the left shoulder to the left waist, and it is shocking.

Not surprisingly, it was supposed to be a souvenir left by some assassin who infiltrated the Castle Lord's Mansion a long time ago.

Judging by the degree of healing, it was the injury that Anthracene had suffered when she was five or six years old. It has been growing with Anthralis for so many years, and it is inseparable from her to this day.

Even the alchemist in the City Lord's Mansion couldn't fix it.

This means that Anthra has never had the elegant backless dress that women wear at balls for the rest of their lives. No wonder she has always been dressed in men's clothes, in addition to the convenience of using a sword, there is such a reason.

Thinking of this, Eric couldn't help but sigh again about the tragic fate of the Pelos family, and he could only sigh. Then he took off his coat to cover the sorrow, decided not to think about it for a moment, and turned his head to look at the penetrating gunshot wound.

The wound was in a special location, just above the heart. Above the heart?... Wait! Eric looks like he's caught something. In a hurry, he didn't care about etiquette, and his hands pressed on the anthracene wheat-colored skin, which felt silky. But Eric didn't have that kind of thought, and he pressed his eyes to the piercing wound, and then noticed that the bullet that had not been left behind rushed in the direction of the trajectory.

Bullets are fired from the bottom up. Being able to reach this angle proves that the spear god is already at an extremely close range almost close to Anthrite, and if he shoots a flat bullet, he will hit the heart.

The spear god deliberately raised the muzzle of the gun.

There is no way that the six-pointed star of Pyros can take the life of Miss Anthrite.

It's no wonder that Anthrite would say "I'm dead."

Eric savored the gap without saying a word, and slowly treated the wound for Anthrite, the monstrous admiration in his chest for a long time.

......

At the same time, on the other side of the channel.

It's a hall-like underground area.

By this time, the double rows of benches on both sides of the middle passage had been shattered and scattered into sawdust. Even the smell of sawdust fills the air. It was a sign that a fierce battle had just ended.

At the end of the passage stands an icon in the center, riddled with bullet marks. Who is the icon? Naturally, it is the God of heaven. What this place is, I'm afraid most Odin people don't know.

A church site, something that was not allowed to exist after the Reformation.

Thankfully, it's buried deep underground, and no one knows about it. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be stabbed to the holy capital by those who have a heart, so that Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister can catch the handle of asking the teacher of Pelos Xingshi.

And the spear god who had been famous for Odin for many years was sitting under the icon, with a face in the prime of life under a wide-brimmed hat, without wrinkles. Judging by the years he became famous, he was really young and terrifying. Perhaps from the old ballads he hummed in his mouth, there were still clues about his age. It was a song from hundreds of years ago, and it definitely didn't fit today's aesthetics.

Although the song is ancient, the gun god is dressed with the characteristics of the times. It's just that the cuts on the long black trench coat are like stars in the night sky, adding a touch of embarrassment to the already heroic gun god.

"It's incredible. I don't know if Mr. Qiu taught him well, or if Miss was talented. ”

As he spoke, the spearman pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his underwear pocket. But the hands were too shaky, and I couldn't light the cigarette for a long time.

He coughed twice and laughed at his clumsiness. I tried many more times and finally succeeded.

Suddenly, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The spear god didn't care, and inhaled the bloody gas and smoke into his lungs.
