Chapter 18: The Belated Guardian

When Xia Yan and the others came to the center of the training ground, Mo Mo Cha had already knocked down all the fighters, helped them up one by one, and ran over after taking a few breaths. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Instructor Kai, I heard that you are the strongest warrior in Zenda, and I want to fight you so that I can know my full strength!"

When Mo Cha said this, everyone inevitably felt a little sudden. In the eyes of Shibei, Mo Mocha is just a steppe warrior with strong martial arts, a martial artist who has achieved a little success in all aspects, but Kai gives him a different impression, a person who is over forty years old, can enjoy such a high reputation, presumably in terms of experience and personal strength is a first-class master. Therefore, for this unclear matchup, Jubei decided to oppose it.

"Shibei, let's have a fight, and we can learn about Instructor Kai's martial arts. Xia Yan was different, he felt that Mo Mo Cha had the ability to challenge this senior.

Although everyone had different opinions, Kai still made a decision and responded: "I will accompany me, and let me teach a lesson for juniors like you today." ”

"It's really stressful...... I'm a little nervous, come on!"

Kai in front of him stood motionless, which made Mo Cha feel surprisingly stressed, and his hands kept swapping to hold the wooden hilt. According to his earlier guess, Instructor Kai's martial arts should not be as good as Xia Yan and Delacro, but at this time, he felt that the other party's hidden strength was far more than that, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

The two were in a stalemate on the stage for a while, Mo Mocha couldn't bear it anymore, raised the knife and charged forward, slashing several times without losing his center of gravity, but he was all flashed by Kai standing in place. It wasn't until he realized the importance of the next attack that he swung his knife and slashed at Kai's legs, but unfortunately Kai jumped up and dodged it, and was knocked to the ground by a heavy flying kick.

This kick hurt Mo Cha very badly, and he barely stood up with his knife propped up, and at some point Instructor Kai had already come to him. He didn't think for a while, and directly swung the knife at the other party, but Kai didn't mean to avoid it at all, and directly resisted the knife with his left wrist, but instead broke the wooden knife in Mo Cha's hand into two, and the broken part in turn hit Mo Cha's right chest, making him quickly kneel down with his chest.

"As a samurai, when you lose your weapon in a competition, you already lose. ”

"Instructor Kai, who the hell are you, why are you so powerful...... "Mo Cha asked painfully, holding his ribs.

Kai helped him up and checked his injuries, saying, "Don't worry, your ribs aren't broken......"

"What a strong fist, what exactly do you do......" Xia Yan was also stunned, unable to hold back his curiosity.

He turned around and continued to say to Natsuhiko, "Do you want to know about my past, don't you?" but there will be dark corners in everyone's heart, and I don't plan to talk about the past again. Now I'm just one of the guardians of Dhyangda, a free man......"

Shibei hurriedly took over the conversation and responded: "Understood, we won't ask any more, we are going to see Count Arassis together, can Instructor Kai help us?"

"No problem, now we'll go to the Earl's Palace......" Kai nodded in agreement, and rushed to the Earl's Court with the three of them.

Arriving outside the town hall of Chanda, in front of the Earl's Palace, Kai only waved his hand to the guard, and the guard opened the door, and the three of them entered the Earl's Palace in no time.

As soon as you step through the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the many rare paintings on the four walls of the hall, which are particularly eye-catching due to the abundance of light sources, the wooden furniture on the walls is placed with porcelain and bronze from Kugit, and a few maids are sweeping the marble floor, and the door to the marble corridor leading to the back half of the Earl's Court is ajar, and a gray banner with a large eagle pattern hangs in the center of the staircase on both sides......

"It's an eye-opener, it's a real surprise, it seems that the Count of Arassis is still a rich man. Xia Yan, who knew the value of the arts and crafts in the foyer, exclaimed.

"It's nothing, the lords of all other places live in the castle, but Arassis is different, the front half of this mansion can be called a castle, and the real earl's palace is along the corridor below, and there will be time to visit it later. ”

Along the way, Kai questioned the maid and learned that Arassis was in the vault on the top floor, so Kai led the three of them straight to the office on the second floor, but there were no ladders or stairs or lifts to the top of the house.

The two of them walked around the room for a while, and when they found this problem, they asked: "Instructor Kai, how can we go up to the top floor, not only did we not go up the stairs, but we didn't even see the ladder......"

"Arassis has his reasons to be cautious, come with me, there is a special passage to the top floor......"

Kai found a handle hanging his coat on a nearby wall and pulled it down. There was a faint grinding sound behind the wall, and the wall opened forward automatically, and an upward circular staircase appeared in front of them.

The three of them followed Kai down the circular staircase to the top floor. Kai had just pushed open the door at the end of the stairway when a heavy object pressed the door back from behind it, followed by a majestic voice......

"Who, don't you know to knock on the door first?"

"Aracis, I'm here to get down to business, you should be serious, right?"

The man inside removed a cabinet-like object from behind the door, opened the door, welcomed all four inside, and quickly locked the door of the storeroom.

If the scale of the artwork in the foyer is rare in the Hokuriku, the various luxuries in this storage room can be said to be unique on the mainland, only to see that the walls are hung with paintings by the hands of various masters of the Calradian school, the weapon rack next to the door hangs several precious ancient swords forged by the ancient Karad craft, the dummy inside is wearing a set of fully enclosed knight armor made of special steel, and a cavalry gun of the same material, there are also various strange designs of war horse armor in the wooden cabinet, all kinds of rare treasures, but the most eye-catching thing is a long musket held in the hand of the person in the house。

According to the guesses of the three of them, this person is the Count of Arassis, and from his high hairline, it can be inferred that he is over forty years old, but his handsome face does not have many obvious wrinkles, and it is not too far behind Instructor Kai, as if he is a strong man who is old and strong.

"Aracis Gray, who are you?" Aracis reported to his home and stretched out his hand to Natsuhiko and the others.

"My name is Maitreya Natsuhiko...... To be honest, you are completely different from the guardian of Zenda in my imagination......" Due to the inertia when they saw the big man, several people wilted for a while, and finally Xia Yan stumbled to answer Aracis's question.

"Guardians don't need to be particularly rigid and clichéd, I think I've done a good job compared to my father, not to mention that I'm not the only guardian of Zenda, and Kai is here to help me. He was very proud of his achievements, and pointed to Instructor Kai, putting Kai's position on the same level as himself.

Kai shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I'm just an instructor, Zhang Luo Chanda's training ground, you are an earl, or the leader of the Chanda Mercenary Association, your responsibilities are much more important than mine." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business, what's the matter with me!"

Since then, Xia Yan and the others have reported to Alassis what they have seen and heard recently and the dark declarations of the dark god believers......

"This is a big problem, Dark God Medius, these believers should be the downline of the Drua Order's development in Calradia, I really didn't expect my generation to face such a crisis...... Akai, I know this is a bit difficult for you, but you must muster our old allies together!"

"Although I have disappointed my comrades, I ...... For freedom!!" He hugged Arassis warmly and left without a word.

After Kai left, Arassis let out a long sigh and explained to the three of them, "Instructor Kai has his assignment and will leave first for the time being. You haven't introduced yourselves yet, if not?"

As a last resort, the Ten Guards had no choice but to introduce their teammates to Aracis: "I'm the Ten Guards, this is Tea Tristan, he is Maitreya Natsuhiko, and a knight named Victor Delacro and his subordinate Polis Ravi White are with us. ”

"This is a mercenary group, why don't you join the mercenary association of Chanda, so that you can take care of your work. "Alassis thought about it and decided to incorporate the mercenary group into Chanda's guild.

But Maitreya refused, and his reason was: "I'm sorry, although Zenda is a neutral city with the purpose of freedom, we don't want to be held back by the background, so please forgive me for refusing this request." ”

Alassis shook his head with a wry smile, and replied, "Okay, it's up to you, and Chanda will still take care of you as much as possible." And now, I need some information from the Dark Order, and I need a master recon to visit the territory of the Northland countries to inquire about information, can any of you help?"

"It seems that this task is mine, Lord Earl! Don't worry, please give me three days, and I will visit all the border villages and towns of the two countries around Chanda. Mo Cha agreed in one gulp, as if it was as difficult as a hand.

"Young man, I'm optimistic about you!~" Alassis nodded happily, and ordered Mo Cha to set off early.

Mo Cha also left, leaving only Natsuhiko and Shibei, and they asked in unison, "What can the two of us do, please instruct......

"It's not a big deal, I need to rummage through some information, I haven't done my homework in a long time, come with me!"

Arassis took them back to the office room on the second floor, took out a few books on modern history, and said: "I don't know what these cultists are planning for the time being, we want to find out their real purpose, you can help me take notes~"

Even though it was a very boring job, the two of them kept busy......
