On top of a tower not far to the left of Kersmord, a black figure was standing. As Eksmund walked down the long street, the black figure quickly noticed him.
The top of the tower on which the figure was standing, although not very tall, was still a lot taller than the surrounding houses, so that the figure stood there, looking around, and it was easy to notice movement within a radius of several hundred feet in such a quiet night, when there was no one around. So, as Kersmoud walked down that long street, he quickly caught the attention of the black figure.
After spotting Eksmerd, the black figure stood motionless for a moment, then moved to the edge of the top of the tower, and then, with a kick of his feet, the whole figure jumped high and wanted to jump from the top of the tower to the ground.
The next moment, the black figure broke away from the top of the tower, was in a state of volley, and began to fall rapidly downward. The figure spread its hands apart on either side of its body, and in the process of falling rapidly, it swung its hands a few times like an eagle soaring in the sky, and it was unknown whether it was to slow down the fall or some kind of ritualistic act. This movement is graceful and light, showing the composure and chic of this black figure in the process of falling, and adding a bit of gorgeous meaning to its thrilling fall.
Directly below the black figure, there was a large haystack on the ground, which was why it jumped from the top of the tower without fear of death. Soon, the black figure fell into the haystack, and before it could do so, it flipped lightly in the air, with its back to the ground. Then, only a noise was heard in the haystack, and the falling figure had already been buried in the haystack.
But before the noise had completely subsided, the black figure had already rushed out of the haystack and rushed towards an alley like an arrow from a string.
In a few minutes, Kersmund was at the end of the long street, and in front of him was an intersection. Just as he hesitated to go left or right, or to go straight through the intersection and continue on his way. In the distance to his left, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, and it seemed that the riders were rushing towards them.
Looksmer immediately raised his vigilance, who could be the man who was riding this way in the quiet night?Marksmod did not dare to be careless, so he walked quickly to the left side of the street, leaned his body against the wall of a house, tilted his head sideways, and listened attentively, his right hand pressed against the hilt of the elite scimitar at his waist.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and soon reached this junction. I saw a white figure in the dark night, whizzing past this intersection and galloping straight forward.
Ksmerd looked at the white figure, a man in a white robe on a white horse, to be exact, speeding past him not far away, and then watched him disappear. Sensed only had time to see the man's back, a back that made him feel familiar.
With a slight recollection, Kersmund could recognize that this back was very similar to Enqi's. He couldn't help but wonder: Could this man be Enqi? If he was really Enqi, then where was he going on his horse? Looking at the direction he was going, it was not like going in a hurry, because this road was not the way out of the city.
He only knew that this road was the only way to the Kulau Arena, could it be that Enqi was going to the Arena?
According to what Minder knows about Enqi, Enqi is a cold and arrogant person, usually indifferent to the people and things around him, and rarely has anything to arouse his interest. But he is the only one who cares about Jamila, and as long as it is about Jamila, he can treat it warmly. He is Jamila's loyal bodyguard, and the place where he appears is most likely where Jamila is.
Enqi would not have been like Ekmerd who had nothing to do when he rode out on horseback because he couldn't sleep, like Ekmer - he certainly had a very clear purpose, and it wouldn't be because of any trivial matter. Kersmod couldn't help but think that Jamila might also be nearby, maybe she ran away from home like she did last time?
Thinking of the possibility of involving Jamila, Kersmoud immediately became concerned, so after a little thought, he quickly chased in the direction where the figure suspected of being Enqi was far away.
The figure that seemed to be Enqi was riding a horse and had already run a long distance. Kersmod couldn't regret that he didn't come out on horseback, so he just tried his best to chase after him.
Fortunately, the street was straight and long, and although the figure had run far away on horseback, Kersmund could still see where he was going, so that he would not lose the direction of pursuit.
The figure who seemed to be Enqi rode through the long straight street, then reined in his horse and turned to the right. Kersmed, who was far behind him, saw his turn and was sure where he was going. Because after walking through this street and turning right, you will find exactly where the Kulau Arena is located.
As Ksmod expected, this suspected figure of Enqi was going to the arena.
After the figure turned to the right and disappeared, Kersmund stepped up and chased after him. Less than two minutes later, he had run the street, and at the end of the street, he slowed down, leaned to the right side of the street, and then leaned against a wall, and quietly looked at the street to the right.
Grim saw the figure standing still at the entrance of the arena not far away, with his back to his position. In front of him, a figure was slowly walking towards his place, and Kersmode's attention was immediately drawn to the presence of this man.
When he looked closely, he saw that the man was short and thin, and seemed to be a woman, and he couldn't see what the person looked like because of the distance. Still, Kosmer was pretty sure that the woman wasn't Jamila.
As the woman approached slowly, the figure who seemed to be Enqi also dismounted, and then led the horse to a nearby stable, tied his horse to the stable, and walked out again, standing opposite the woman, as if talking to something.
As he led the horse, Kersmod saw the outline of his face, which was difficult to see, but it was enough for him to be sure that this man was Enqi.
:。 : What is it doing in this place, at such a time, with a woman?
The two talked to each other for a while, and as for the content of the conversation, it was definitely impossible for Kosmer, who was too far away, to hear it, and even their voices were almost inaudible.
After they had talked for a while, the woman turned and walked towards the arena gate. Germund saw her move to pull something out of her body, and she opened the locked arena door. Undoubtedly, she took out the key from her body and opened the lock on the arena gate.
After pushing the gate open, she glanced back at Enqi and walked through the gate first, into the arena. Enqi followed closely behind and walked in as well. As soon as the two entered the arena, the door was closed from the inside.
When Kosmod saw them enter the arena, he really couldn't understand what Enqi and a woman were doing in the arena when there was no one in the middle of the night? Could it be that Enqi and this woman have a special hobby and like to go to the arena for trysts?
Thinking of this, Kersmoud felt both ridiculous and suspicious, and couldn't help but be even more curious. He hesitated, finally unable to resist the curiosity, and walked slowly to the gate of the arena.
He first put his ear to the door panel and listened to the movement in the arena, but he did not hear anything. So, he quietly pressed his right hand on the door panel, and then gave it a gentle push. Immediately, the door was pushed open by Korsmer. Next, Kersmund held his breath and continued to push the door open, his movements very slowly so that the door did not make any sound when it was pushed open. At the same time, his feet are prepared as necessary, and if something goes wrong, he will immediately run away.
It took nearly a minute for Kersmund to push the door out of a long, narrow opening that barely allowed his body to pass through, and then he turned sideways and crept through it into the arena.
After entering the arena, in order to prevent outsiders from noticing that something was wrong here, it took nearly a minute for Kersmund to completely close the open door again.
In this way, Kersmoud finally quietly entered the arena, without making any sound that would attract attention, and certainly did not alarm Enqi and the woman.
After entering through the main gate of the arena, walk to the left passage and stairs to the stands, and to the right to the preparation room. The so-called preparation room is the place where the fighters stay before entering the arena for a duel, where the fighters change into the equipment necessary for fighting, get on their horses and take weapons, and then wait in an orderly manner to enter the arena for a duel. The middle passage leads directly into the arena, but it is usually not allowed to pass and is blocked by a wooden fence.
Without thinking, Kersmund immediately walked to the left and made his way to the stands. He had expected Enqi to sit in the stands with the woman, but that was not the case - the stepped seats in the stands were empty. So, Ksmod immediately turned his attention to the arena, only to find that the torches on the walls around the arena were lit, but the arena was also empty. In this way, the only place where Eun Qi and the woman stayed was the preparation room.
Just as Minded was about to leave the stands and go to the preparation room to take a look, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out in the arena below. Immediately, another sound of horses' hooves sounded, mixed with the previous sound of horses' hooves.
Kersmund dodged behind a pillar on the edge of the stands and looked into the field.
Two people were seen riding a black practice horse, each riding through the two passages connecting the preparation room and the arena at about the same time. By the glow of the torches around the arena, Kersmund saw that both men were wearing competitive armor and helmets. One of them was wearing a red athletic armor, a red-topped athletic helmet, and a heavy wooden practice sword in both hands. The other man was wearing a blue athletic armor and a blue-topped athletic helmet, holding a practice riding spear in his right hand and a practice shield with a blue shield in his left hand.
After the two men came out of the passage, one of them reined in the horse to the left and the other reined in the right, quickly reinventing the distance in the opposite direction, and then separated most of the arena, reined in the horse's head together, and stood opposite each other.
After the two confronted each other for more than ten seconds, the man in the blue competitive armor shouted, "Let's start!"
As soon as Sensed heard the man's shout, he could already tell that it was Enqi's voice, but the intonation was obviously very different from the tone in which Enqi usually spoke, and his tone was filled with an indescribable excitement.
Before Enqi's shout fell, he mounted his horse and speared, and took the lead in charging towards the man with the heavy practice sword opposite him. The man in the red athletic armor across from him immediately rode forward, grasped the heavy practice sword with both hands, raised it high on its right side, and also charged towards Enqi.
Kersmode, who had witnessed the duel from the stands, frowned at this time, and was very puzzled in his heart - it turned out that Enqi and the woman were not here for a tryst, but for a duel...... So who is this woman who is Enqi's opponent, and what are they fighting this duel for?
Germund knew little about Enqi's past, and he certainly didn't know about Enqi's grievances with others, so he couldn't judge Enqi's opponent at all.
In the middle of the field, Enqi and his opponent charged at each other, and he began to level the practice riding spear in his right hand at his side and launched a spear charge towards his opponent. His opponent, the woman, held the heavy practice sword in one hand in his right hand while his left hand gripped the horse's reins as he lunged straight at her.
When the two horses were about to collide with each other, and the distance between them was less than five feet, the woman grabbed the reins and pulled the horse's head slightly to the left, so that her crotch horse was moving forward, and the head of the practice riding spear in Enqi's hand also moved, deviating to his right, always aimed at his opponent.
Both of them were galloping on horseback, and they were about to rush to kill each other in the blink of an eye, but when the head of the spear in Enqi's hand was less than two feet away from the woman's body, the woman suddenly pulled the reins to the right with her left hand, causing the horse's head to turn sharply to the right, driving the horse's body and her sitting on the horse's back to quickly move to her right, that is, Enqi's left side.
