The air around him seemed to have frozen, the man's sword skills were too cunning, and most of the onlookers were holding their breath at the moment, and the commotion of the crowd was already silent after the first move between the two. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kenny carefully observed the man's movements in the crowd, those dueling skills did not seem to come from some knight legion, there were not a few duels won by strength, and the man in front of him was so powerless to suppress Eren with his attacking style.

Alan saw that the blade of the sword was close to his throat, and the pain in his arm made him unable to hold the sword to resist, so he had no choice but to take a few steps back to the right, and the crowd on the right immediately pulled back, and no one wanted to take a sword for no reason.

The man saw Allen step back to the right, the long sword in his hand was like a silver snake spitting out a letter, and he quickly changed the direction of attack, and his steps were light and steady, leaving no respite for the opponent at all.

A few steps later, Alan had retreated to the corner, the women in the crowd covered the child's eyes, everyone thought that the next second would be splattered with blood, the corner of Allen's mouth suddenly showed a smile, I saw him raise the saber with one hand, the blade of the sword downward, the morning sun shot directly at the black steel sword, a reflective flash from the man's chest to the eye, the man twisted his head to the side, stretched out his left hand to block the strong light, and the long sword in his hand grazed Allen's earlobe and pierced into the wall.

There was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the rock, and Alan immediately held the sword in both hands, and the blade of the black gang was close to the long sword and approached the hilt, the man couldn't dodge and was scratched on his fingers, and the long sword retreated a few steps back from his hand.

"Enough!"

The rebuke came just in time, the black steel sword rested in front of the man's throat, Eren turned his head to look to the side, and Kenny walked out of the crowd.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way! I'm going to hack this horse stealing idiot to death!" Alan shouted at Kenny, who was blocking him.

"Enough is Alan, you've already lost. ”

"I lost? Hmph, Kenny, what are you talking about? Knight duels require more than strength and speed, it's all about it. Alan said and stretched out his index finger and pointed at his head, "Effectively observing the surrounding environment and using everything that can be used, including light and air, this is the highest level of knight duel!"

"I didn't say you were invincible, I mean—" Kenny gestured to Ellen's left earlobe.

Alan looked at Kenny and reached out and touched his earlobe, a little red liquid touched his hand, and the belated stinging sensation reached the central nervous system, and Eren felt that the long sword that had just pierced the wall had scratched his earlobe.

"You didn't mean that as long as his blade touched your clothes..."

"Kenny, which side are you on? He stole my horse!"

"Maybe he's in a hurry?"

“......”

Alan glared at the defector, and he suddenly understood Kenny's intentions.

"The people are gone, and your kindness has not helped. Alan shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head to look at the crowd.

Kenny turned around and saw the swordsman walk over to the wall, draw his sword, and walk through the crowd, leaving a lonely back.

"You're trying to take it for yourself, aren't you?" said Allen, guessing Kenny's thoughts.

"Well, I think his dueling skills are good for assassination, don't you think, if we can select some young soldiers to train him and form an army that is not too large, it may be of great help to us in the future battlefields!" Kenny said excitedly.

"That's what I saw with the Mandate of Heaven card, and I felt like I'd seen him somewhere. ”

"Nietz Inn, everyone in the hall of the inn stood up that night, only he was drinking. Kenny looked in the direction the man had left, and the do-gooders around him had gradually dispersed.

"Like, yes! It was the night at the inn that I thought the long sword at his waist was very strange, and if it weren't for your nosy, I might have asked him where it came from. By the way, did you ask about the whereabouts of the seminary?"

"Well, follow the city river all the way to the east, and we'll be at the end, why don't we go together, whether we can see Eugene today or not, we'll rest in the city for one night, and we'll go back tomorrow." ”

"You want to try your luck and see if you can meet the horse thief, don't worry, find a post house at night and tie the horse, and you crouch behind the stable to make sure you can catch him!" Allen put the black steel sword into the scabbard and turned to the east.

The sun was shining obliquely in the city's river, the boats along the river swayed rhythmically from side to side with the flow of the river, and the streets were already full of people, except for a hawker who sold the frozen cherries from the stall with his crow voice, and most of the fishmongers along the street were fishmongers, who did not hesitate to throw the fish entrails on the ground, and the whole street was full of stinking fishy smell.

Walking to the east of the city, an old building stands on the river, and there are twelve square bluestone pillars embedded in the bottom of the river, and those bluestone pillars have been smoothed by weathering, trying to support the temple overhead.

From the outside, the temple looks very old, and the exterior walls have not been carved too much, except for a painter to paint a circle of divine patterns, but those patterns have long since been blurred over time.

The building is surrounded by a one-man tall stone wall made of stone, and Kenny's height can barely see that the gate of the temple is closed, and the two side doors around it are open, indicating that the temple is still being tended, and the gate of the temple is usually only opened during the Namu Festival.

The two of them stood outside the temple and tried to call out to the people in the temple, but after several shouts, they found that no one responded, and Alan climbed directly through the stone wall without hesitation, and Kenny had to follow him when he saw this.

The gravel path led to the temple gate, which was flanked by a row of tall and stout nan trees, which must have been at least a hundred years old, and Kenny looked up to see the closed gate of the temple, carved with a statue of Namu, a lifelike portrait that must have been made by a skilled artist.

The two quietly entered the main hall of the temple from the side door, a strong pine resin incense came from the brazier of the main hall, the interior of the hall is completely different from the appearance, rows of oak seats are meticulously placed in the hall, the walls are repaired and dazzling, it is not at all obvious that they have served the god Namu for a hundred years, there is a statue of the god Namu at the end of the hall, the sunlight shines on the statue through the high red beam window, the eyes of the god Namu are slightly closed, and the expression is serene.

The entire hall was empty, and the solemn atmosphere filled the surrounding air, and the two of them unconsciously bowed to the god Namu, and walked through the hall to the backyard.

Alan tried to call out to the people in the temple again, and after a few shouts, he heard a strange sound coming from the side of the temple, Kenny and Alan looked at each other and walked to the cabin not far away.

"Ahh

A scream broke the quiet courtyard, and a disheveled goddess servant appeared in front of the two of them, clutching her bare chest and looking at the two uninvited guests in horror.
