Chapter 12: The Secret Struggle
"Wow!"
Arlo, the god of war, stood up from his chair suddenly, his eyes revealing a hint of chill, staring at Nightblade without saying a word.
But Nightblade didn't care at all, the old god was sitting on the chair, what were you kidding? This is your own territory, even if you are a dragon crossing the river, you can't compare to our local snake.
Dick sat there and squinted his eyes, he was the master of the god of war, but at this moment he didn't mean to stop it at all, this was a grudge between juniors, he wouldn't interfere, but wanted to see how many catties and taels the other party had.
"Lord Nightblade, can't you find the location of Sand Town on the map?" asked the God of War in a cold voice.
"The territory of the Mangul Empire is vast, and there are no less than hundreds of large and small towns, and my eyes are not good, I really can't find it. Nightblade still smiled, as if he were stating something incredibly true.
"It's okay, shall I show it to you?" the god of war held out a hand and pressed the map on the table.
"Is that okay? That's a real bother. Nightblade finally stood up, a smile on his face.
"Look closely, between the Desert of Despair and the Stormy Sands, there's a town called Como. The god of war stretched out a finger and pointed on the map: "And continue to the west, and you can see our town." ”
"Is this here?" asked Nightblade, picking up a wooden ruler and tapping it to a point.
"No, it's here. The god of war also picked up a wooden ruler and pointed at another point.
"No? I remember being there, I think I was here. Nightblade frowned and thought about it carefully, and suddenly pointed to another point, and the wooden ruler inadvertently touched the ruler in the hand of the god of war.
"You're mistaken, not over there, but over here. The god of war's eyes narrowed, and the wooden ruler in his hand unceremoniously bumped into the ruler of the Nightblade.
"Oh, are you sure it's there?" asked Nightblade with a smile, but he didn't let it go in his hand, and instead of losing his strength, he pressed it down.
"Of course, I'm sure my hometown is there, so I can't be mistaken. The god of war did not relax, and the tendons appeared slightly on the back of his hand.
At this moment, the contest between the two sides has begun secretly, as the so-called insiders watch the doorway, and the laymen look at the excitement, Aina and a clerk on the other side of the town just thought that the two were debating.
However, Nightwind and Nightfire and Dick and the others had already tensed their spirits, especially Nightfire, a pair of eyes were about to pop out, but there was a smile on his face, because he had absolute confidence in Nightblade.
The eyes of the god of war are like two flames, the heroic spirit of the desert man makes his momentum soar, his fingers continue to exert force, but his back trembles slightly, and a faint mist comes out of his body, which is a sign of subtlety in the spell, he is mobilizing the strength of his whole body for the use of two fingers, and he has exerted his physical skills to a very high point.
The Nightblade, on the other hand, was completely different, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes looked at the wooden ruler in his hand casually, and there was no vision in his whole body, as if he was doing something effortless.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a wooden ruler broke, drawing everyone's attention.
"Hahaha, it seems that this ruler is old enough, but it is so fragile, and it breaks into two pieces after a slight collision. The big man next to Dick laughed.
The wooden ruler in Nightblade's hand is now only half cut off, and the fracture is uneven, almost bursting, which shows the dark strength of the god of war.
Night Wind didn't say a word, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, and Night Fire was a little anxious, and his gaze at Nightblade was mixed with a hint of worry and puzzlement.
"It seems that the world-famous Kazuran Iron Tree also decays, and it is time to cut down a big tree again. The god of war sneered, and even showed a look of contempt in his eyes.
"It's really rotten, it's so vulnerable. Nightblade looked at the broken ruler in his hand and shook his head and sighed.
The god of war was even more imposing, but suddenly frowned, and in the next second, the wooden ruler in his hand began to crack, and with a few clicks, it shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
"It's really time to cut down a big tree. ”
Nightblade smiled, threw away the broken ruler in his hand, leaned back, and sat back in his chair to stare at the man in front of him with his fingers crossed.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's really vulnerable. Now it was Nightfire's turn to laugh, and Nightwind was still silent, but the corners of his mouth curled.
On the other hand, the big man on the other side of Sand Town had a pig's liver color, and he laughed at others not long ago, but he didn't expect to turn around so quickly.
"Wow"
A handful of crumbs were sprinkled on the table, and the god of war laughed instead: "It's really not simple, it's really an eye-opener for me." ”
"Where, I'm the real big insight. Nightblade said flattering words, but it didn't mean anything like that.
The god of war pushed away a chair that was in the way and said, "However, I still want to tell you the location of Sand Town clearly. ”
"That's good, I can't ask for it. Nightblade reached out a hand and pushed the map out again.
"That wooden ruler just now is not very easy to use!" the god of war shouted, suddenly raised his saber from his waist and said, "I'll use this instead!"
As soon as this move came out, most of the people present were shocked, Aina and the clerk were taken aback, and even Fanke had never seen this battle and was directly stunned.
On the other hand, Night Wind and Night Fire reacted instantly, and each reached out to touch the weapon on his waist to block it in front of the Night Blade.
"Oh? ”
The other party was strong, how could the night blade retreat, and suddenly stood up and separated the two people in front of him, and pulled out the flying dragon knife and also crossed it with the scabbard.
"Boom!"
The two knives collided together through the scabbards and made a muffled sound, and no one was helpless, and there was a draw for a while.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, and everyone on the Sand Town side stood up except Dick, and the night wind and night fire took a step forward to protect both sides of the night blade, and it turned out to be a picture of a battle!
"Stop!"
At this moment, the two voices shouted at the same time, which shocked everyone in the room and covered their ears, only Nightblade and God of War remained deadlocked, staring at each other's eyes.
One of the two voices was close at hand, it was Dick, the master of the god of war, while the other stood in the doorway.
"Haha, the old man from the headmaster is here, and I'm having fun watching it now. Nightfire chuckled and whispered to Nightwind.
The person who came was a strong man with a height of nearly two meters, although he was not as scary as Dick, but his momentum did not diminish at all, his name was Wu Chuan, the chief instructor of the Xialan Hunter Guild Branch, who had taught generations of hunters in Xialan, and Nightblade was his proud disciple.
"Don't stop it, I said Dick, this kid you brought is too ignorant of the rules, isn't it?
Wu Chuan strode over, but he stared off a large number of eyeballs when he said something, this is too protective of calves, right?
"Wu Chuan, what are you talking about? It's just a competition between juniors, how can it be so serious?"
Dick also lowered his face, he was the same status as Takekawa in the guild, but he was often vindictive.
"Junior, then I'm the same generation as you, right? Come on, let's have a discussion. Principal Wuchuan rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and his fierce spirit made the big men of Sand Town ashamed.
"There is no point in a battle of words, we will meet later. Dick got up, unwilling to say more to Takekawa, said goodbye to Aina and prepared to leave.
"The desert is not this mountain, if you are not careful, you will sink into it, be careful. The god of war walked past Nightblade and said with a sneer.
"This group of beasts is infested in the mountains, if you are not careful, you will inevitably stumble, pay attention. "Nightblade returned the color, and did not back down in the slightest.
"Hmph, I hope your skills are as good as your tongue. The god of war said, said no more and turned to leave.
"Really, what the hell are these guys here for?" Night Fire clutched at his hair, puzzled.
"The location of the town of sand is beyond the border of the Silvermoon Empire, it belongs to the territory of the Mangul Empire, although the hunters under the command of the Hunter Guild know no borders, but they are from another country after all, do you understand when I say that?" asked Miss Nate, who had not spoken.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Nightfire was still puzzled.
"The hunters of Sand Town are here to write war letters, and they are aggressive in nature, even the hunters. Nightblade said as he walked over to the window and looked at the group in the distance.
"It doesn't make sense. Night Breeze said lightly.
"Yes, for them, the obvious advantage in that battle was to show the strength of the Desert Hunters, and this time when we came to Xialan to deliver the guild summoning order, it even made it clear that it was okay for us to go or not. Aina said, shaking her head.
"Don't worry about that, Sand Town can't represent the entire Storm Sand Plains, we must respond to the call of the guild, the Fengshan Dragon can't be defeated by one force, only unity can win. Nightblade sat down.
"We're ready, the dragon slayer ship is on its way to the desert, I'm going to gather the men right away, Satsuki and Night Feather have been notified, and the entire Kasumi Lan is fully operational. ”
When Nightblade makes a decision, Nightwind will do it to the letter, never asking why.
"Little Blade. At this moment, Aina suddenly asked, "Have you been to Lingfeng recently?"
"Huh?" Nightblade was stunned for a moment and then replied, "No, what's wrong?"
"It'......s nothing," Aina whispered, and then smiled helplessly: "Although I told myself not to care about that incident, I can't forget what that person said...... It's almost time for now. ”
Nightblade's body shook slightly when he heard this, and the shadow under his feet trembled inadvertently.
Miss Nate set her eyes on Nightblade, and Nightwind raised her head and said coldly, "Whatever your choice is, we will support you, I don't know if that legend is true or not, but if you believe it, then we will go and find it." ”
"Night Breeze, thank you. Nightblade was silent for a long time and finally sighed, he was very touched by this brother who had always supported him.
"We also agree with Nightwind, Blade, we are a family, and Kasumari will always be on your side at all times. Aina said the same, and Miss Nate smiled and nodded at Nightblade.
"Everybody......"
"Boom!"
Just as Night Blade was moved, Night Fire's fist slammed on the table, and in the eyes of everyone, he slowly raised his head, and a pair of tiger eyes swept at everyone present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I suddenly remembered something important......" Looking at everyone, Yehuo said coldly.
