Chapter 43: Causes
"I say, have you ever heard a story?" asked Shadow shaking the dice Gu in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Across from him was a chick with orange feathers, but Shadow didn't dare to underestimate him. In terms of age, I'm afraid Phoenix can be regarded as his elder.
"Huh, what?" Phoenix was absent-minded, her gaze staring at the dice Gu for a moment.
She's been losing for one night.
"There was once a very, very famous swordsman, her swordsmanship was known for her speed, the best in the world, and the challengers fell under her sword one by one, so she had the name of 'the first swordsman', and her fame spread more and more, so the challengers were also endless. "As long as you defeat her, you will be the best in the world", people have this idea, and they are sent to death one after another. Until one day, she met a man who fought with her for a day and a night before she was defeated. ”
"This man is different, and the reason he challenged was not for fame. He was fond of swords, and after fighting the first swordsman, he realized his lack of swordsmanship. With his eyes, there was no way to capture the sword path of the first swordsman, and in that duel, his eyesight became a burden to him...... After the defeat, the man meditated and retreated for many years, before finally he came up with a way to defeat the First Swordsman - as long as he didn't see with his eyes, he wouldn't be burdened by vision, and with this extreme thought, he stabbed himself in the eye. ”
"Huh, is there such an idiot?" Phoenix was incredulous, staring at the shadow's cloudy gaze for a few moments before exclaiming, "I see!
"Fart!"
Shadow squirted out all the wine in his mouth, and slammed the dice Gu on the table in a gaffe. He thought that Phoenix would have a high opinion after being silent for a long time, but he actually said such a sentence: "The old man's eyes are not blind!"
"Oh, it wasn't you. Phoenix looked a little disappointed.
"Anyway...... Thereupon...... Huh, where did I say?" As he got older, Ei's memory got worse and worse, and he got a little carried away for a while after Phoenix's interruption.
"You said there was an idiot. ”
"Oh, that's right, that idiot, phew! The man, after blinding himself, borrowed some swordsmanship from the first swordsman, and finally created a unique set of swordsmanship, and some people call his way of holding two swords ancient swordsmanship...... Because, when he came out of the mountain, the era of the first swordsman had long passed, and people saw that his swordsmanship was somewhat similar to the first swordsman, so they took such a name. ”
Unfortunately, when he returned from training and wanted to challenge the first swordsman again, the other party had long since disappeared. Some say that the First Swordsman was plotted by the enemy and died, while others say that she was tired of her life and went into hiding...... So, you know that you don't have to hone your perception that is sharper than your vision overnight, right?"
Saying that, Ying's gaze turned to Lin Qiu, who was still sleeping: "This kid is still 108,000 miles away." ”
Phoenix felt that the more he listened, the more familiar it became.
However, this story did take place a long, long time ago, when the First Demon Tide War had just ended, and she was still a monster full of evil in the eyes of humans. She had heard the story when she disguised herself as a human and was moving from kingdom to kingdom.
"That first swordsman is Hundred Winds. Phoenix was adamant.
"You guessed it. Ying smiled wistfully: "That little girl's swordsmanship reminds me of this story - big, or small?"
"Great! you can't be wrong this time!" Phoenix exclaimed.
"It's a pity that you ...... again"
Shadow smiled and opened the dice Gu, but his expression froze on his face.
It's big indeed.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"This time it doesn't count, it's because I'm distracted while I'm telling the story. ”
"What!?
......
At the same time, the other end of the imperial capital.
"Ah, it's Alyssa, it's a notch better than your drunken master!" Grayla's tone was hard to hide the excitement in her tone, she wiped the blood from her face, clubbed her sword on the ground, and stared at Alyssa with a slightly fanatical smile.
There was a sword wound on his face, and there were also scars on his arms and wrists of varying degrees.
It was the first time she felt such a strong sense of oppression in a pure sword duel.
In the dead of night, there were no pedestrians on the streets.
The alley beside the two men was in ruins, mottled sword marks everywhere, and in addition to rubble and rubble, there were also the corpses of civilians.
Alyssa frowned, in such a fierce battle, she could not care about rescuing unarmed civilians, and in Grela's eyes, it seemed that there was no difference between people and walls. Without hesitation, the sword split the innocent into two along with the house.
Although the Chaos Cult has always been a source of evil and turmoil, there has never been a situation of indiscriminate murder like Grayla's in the past. Under the Sith's leadership, everything they did had a purpose, and everything Greila did from the time she killed Andrew was like a personal act.
She suddenly remembered Judith's earlier warning to her.
Judith said that after killing Andrew, the last shackles that bound Grela's heart were completely broken, and the woman is now simply a "free murderer".
"Chaos Cult, what the hell is going on?" Alyssa vaguely felt that something was wrong. If it were the usual Sith, it would never be possible for his subordinates to behave so recklessly in the imperial capital: "What happened after the incident in the Kingdom of Tarun?"
"Who knows?......"
Judith muttered to herself, "It seems that my eyes alone cannot overcome you." ”
As she spoke, she ripped off a piece of fabric from her sleeve and slowly covered her eyes.
"Come on, Elisa, whose sword is faster?" Graela moved, and disappeared from Elisa's sight in an instant.
......
The woman in the windbreaker made a backhand sword and sent Lin Qiu flying out with a heavy blow.
"No, not at all!" Shenhai felt a trace of inexplicable exhaustion. She was about to get visual fatigue when she saw Lin Qiu being beaten: "Although the swordsmanship humanoid form combines all the characteristics of Baifeng, Alyssa, Sith, Grayla, and Shadow Swordsmanship, you can't be beaten unilaterally all the time!"
"It's too much, don't you know that training starts with the 'novice' difficulty!?" Lin Qiu simply lay flat on the ground, there was nothing on his body that didn't hurt now.
The woman who appeared in front of him and had the same face as Grela, abruptly stopped the sword that was poking at his throat, a puzzled expression.
"Get up. The swordsmanship humanoid said in a wooden voice, and patted Lin Qiu's head with the back of the sword.
"Stop arguing, let me rest for five minutes!" Lin Qiu said angrily.
