Chapter 666: The Noblest Justice
How strong is the grip of the Golden Saint Seiya?
For this point, perhaps from the first episode of the Saint Seiya manga, when the magic bell was teaching Seiya, the head of the bronze five, he easily crushed a stone with one hand as a demonstration, and the magic bell was just a silver saint in the constellation Aquila, not to mention a stone if it was replaced by a gold saint, even steel might be deformed between their fingers.
Kala~Kala~
"Indeed┉┉ is indeed an extraordinary warrior┉┉" The voice of the man who was holding his fingers began to tremble, he really didn't expect that the seemingly thin young man in front of him would have so much strength, he felt like he was caught by iron tongs, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the other party in the slightest.
Caludia smiled, as if she didn't notice that the other party's face was becoming more and more strange, or that this Scorpio Gold Saint Seiya with a big personality was ready to make the other party lose face, and if he was a little stronger, there would be fewer guys who would trouble his group next.
However, just when the man was already covered in cold sweat and his palms were pinched so red that he couldn't hold it, suddenly a figure suddenly appeared behind Caludia.
"It's already possible. ”
A hand reached forward to hold the hands of the two sides, and Caludia turned her head to the third person who suddenly intervened, the other party was a man with blonde hair and golden eyes, who looked similar in age to herself, wearing a very common traveler's trench coat, but the man had a strange temperament, especially the pair of eyes full of vicissitudes, revealing lamentation and confusion for the world, and the feelings contained were completely inconsistent with his appearance and age.
Although it was only a soft sentence, the voice had a momentum that was not angry and arrogant, and Caludia involuntarily let go of her hand.
The man who had just provoked him immediately stepped aside as if he were about to be amnestied, and began to secretly rub his numb and aching hands.
Looking at Caludia and then at the rest of the Saint Seiyas, the blond man slowly stretched out his hand and said, "I want to thank you. Just now I stepped forward to protect everyone. ”
It was also a gesture to shake hands, but this time Caludia could feel that the other party was thanking him from the bottom of his heart, not provoking, nor having ulterior motives, and Caludia also dispelled her guard and shook hands with a calm smile. It was indeed a strong, very warm hand.
"I have a question?"
"What?"
Caludia smiled bitterly, she was only asked a question by a female paladin for a long time today, and now she doesn't like to be asked questions by others.
"What is the reason that drives you to face the undead?"
Ha~ This time Caludia wondered, even Elcid looked at the blonde man in front of him with some inexplicable eyes, thinking that the other party would ask some tentative questions such as his identity, origin, and where he learned the so-called 'martial arts', but he really didn't expect the other party to ask such a strange question.
However, the man's tone was soft but firm, as if it had a strange magic that made people have to answer.
"Does this require a specific reason?"
At this moment, Elcid suddenly replied, "In this crisis, everyone should come together to get through it. ”
"You can repel hundreds of undead with the strength of just five people, even if the undead kill the entire convoy of people, you can retreat with your whole body, why do you want to stand up?"
The man's words made Elcid frown. Even the audience and some of those who had experienced the catastrophe of the dead began to talk about it, and it was clear that many people were very unhappy with these words.
"Do you mean we should watch the undead kill everyone and ignore it?"
The blonde man completely ignored the angry and inexplicable gaze beside him, and just blindly stared at Elcid: "You are not from this country, and the power you have is unprecedented, I don't think you are just ordinary travelers, but you have been hiding your strength along the way must not want to show it to attract unnecessary attention, so why expose it for those who have nothing to do with you?" You can wait until the undead rush and retreat, just join up with the rescuing garrison and pretend to be an escaped survivor. In this way, there will be no questioning and suspicion as it is now. ”
A hint of discoloration flashed in Elcid's eyes, and Alubioni, who also had a calm personality, began to look wary in his eyes. The other party said that his side had also considered it, but the situation was critical at that time, how could his own side, as a saint seiya, watch the undead kill those innocent civilians, but there were women and children inside!
After a pause, the man continued: "The holy warriors of the God of Fire have not detained and interrogated you because of the teachings and laws, but they will inevitably have doubts about your identity, during this special time period. Any stranger will receive special attention, and revealing your identity will surely cause you some unnecessary trouble in the future, is it worth it?"
"How can we watch the undead kill so many innocent civilians for no reason, as long as people with a sense of justice and humanity would not watch this happen. The youngest Perseus Silver Saint Seiya, Aru Golu, said indignantly.
"Is it just because of the 'sense of justice'?" the blonde man shifted his gaze to Arugolu.
For a time, Arugoro was amazed. The other party's gaze pierced his soul like a sharp sword, and all the disguises and quibbles could not deceive his eyes.
The tavern fell silent for a moment, and some of the people who were originally dissatisfied with the blonde man's words of abandoning others at a critical moment also fell silent, and every word and word of the man seemed to have a strange magic, which was conveyed to the ears as if it was a direct shot to the soul, and people couldn't help but ask themselves whether they could really do it. At least in the eyes of many mercenaries, justice is something that only appears in knight novels, and when the real crisis comes, you can't do it for the sake of the so-called righteous and fearless actions.
Not to mention ordinary mercenaries, even the Templars of the Holy Capital and the Knights of Light of the Holy See, even these devout disciples who believe in the gods may not be able to everyone be a senseless and selfless warrior, after all, everyone has a selfish and dark side in their hearts.
"Not only for justice, but also for the sake of protecting others, saving and helping the weak is a virtue that everyone should have, do you want to see someone abandon you in times of trouble?" said Elcid as he stood up and looked directly at the other person.
Silently staring at Elcid, the blonde man saw only perseverance, integrity and almost innocent purity from those eyes, anyone would say the words of righteousness, but there are only a handful of people who can really do it, whether it is a human, an elf, a dwarf, an orc, or a person who is known as a sage in his long life, he will also have a flaw called **, and there is also a shadow called selfishness in his clear eyes, but today he did not see any shadow from the eyes of the man in front of him, only an absolutely pure and flawless heart.
Suddenly, the man found that when he looked at the other party, he was not looking at the other person's soul, but the other party was asking about his own heart, which can be said to have never happened.
Not only Elcid in front of him, the blonde man looked at Elcid's side from afar, and the eyes of the four Saint Seiyas were all the same pure, as if they had already sacrificed everything for the justice in their hearts.
Retracting his gaze, the blonde man nodded to Elcid: "Your gaze tells me that you are not lying, and I apologize to you for my previous words and deeds,"
"I accept your apology. Alcid nodded at the man's attitude.
"Can I know your name, a warrior with fortitude and a pure heart!"
"Elcid!"
The blonde man raised his head and looked deeply at Elcid: "I remember this name, as a courtesy ┉┉"
Halfway through his words, the man suddenly turned around and left, which made the people around him scattered, originally thought that the other party would also reply to his name politely, but now he left without saying a word, what kind of words is this!
However, Elcid did not have any dissatisfaction, just stared at the departing back with deep eyes.
This voice sounded in Elcid's mind, the other party had already told him his name in this special way, and the tone that hesitated for half a beat seemed to be the first time the man told another person his own name, solemn and serious, and looked at Caludia and the others, and from the expressions of several Saint Seiyas, it seemed that this voice had reached everyone's mind.
He wasn't just a human being, and like his group, he wasn't just a traveler.
Elcid came to this conclusion instantly, although he was surprised by the identity of the other party, but the other party did not seem to have any malicious intent, when the man observed Elcid, Elcid was also observing him, there was pity and kindness in those golden eyes, and there was also a feeling called guardianship.
It's not like to speculate much about the man's identity, after returning to the room, the only thing El Cid has to do is to take out the twin purple flame jade that has been placed in the space ring, this kind of magic guide that can be used for long-distance communication has not been used since it was brought out, Lord Yalin once ordered to use the magic guide to communicate once there is any abnormality, and there have been no accidents along the way except for the normal stay caused by the undead war and demon infestation, so the one-eyed Elcid has not used the magic guide once, but today is different。
"What? Is this thing broken?"
Looking at the magic guide on the table that was activated according to the process but only made a noise, Caludia, who ran to the door, looked at Elcid, who was still fiddling with the magic guide, and asked him, and after receiving no answer, Caludia turned her head out the window to browse the scenery of the street outside.
It's late at night, there aren't many people on the road anymore, only sporadic lights are everywhere in the city is pitch black, the only most conspicuous thing is probably the huge stone pillar erected in the middle of the city, when I entered the city, I saw this strange big pillar, I thought it was a monument to the city or something, but now I saw the magic runes shining around the stone pillar, Caludia found that this stone pillar standing in the center of the city is probably not just a decoration and a sign.
