Chapter 307: Just the Beginning

In fact, no one else could tell whether he had spoken or not, for he had no eyes, no nose, or mouth, and everything was covered up by the strange black clothes, which made people wonder if this person would be suffocated to death. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Of course, it was not unreasonable for everyone to think that he was dead, O'Faryl's whip was so domineering that it almost directly shattered the black armor, and this person was also not able to escape this tragic fate, a depression with the thickness of a forearm could be clearly seen on his body, and a depression with the thickness of a forearm was drawn down his shoulder from his chest and obliquely imprinted on his body, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago, even a gifted knight is estimated to be able to last only a few minutes at most, of course, except for those with natural abilities like Messiah and Semiaγ
But this time, they guessed wrong.
After a moment of silence, the pitch-black creature suddenly let out an unpleasant pop as if something was cracking, and his body, which had not been moving, began to twist slightly.
Before the others could react, O'Falel was taken aback, and in fact she thought he was dead at the first sight of the man. And now, seeing such an obviously abnormal human body actually take the initiative to make movements, this also surprised Ofariel, and she even subconsciously raised the long whip in her hand, wanting to give the other party another time.
But this time Yulian stopped Ofariel's reckless behavior, he reached out and stopped the movements of the girl next to him, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the person in front of him with a smug gaze, sure enough, after a while, the black body gradually stopped moving, and the explosion-like sound disappeared, replaced by the old voice that sounded before.
"You've shown me your hole cards again, Yuren. β
"I'll let you see it every time. β
And in the face of the other party's words that made people's faces change greatly, You Lian pouted, and he didn't care on the other hand.
"And you lose every time, so getting rid of you and changing a new word, it's been so many years of relationship, don't you feel tired of always saying that clichΓ©?
β..................β
Julien's taunt was indeed of a professional level, although neither Faren nor Offariel in the audience knew what had happened to him and the other party before, and such a few words were enough for the two of them to figure out the situation. Obviously, this man in black and the lord should have a very long-standing enemy relationship, although I don't know why they have a feud, but at the moment this reason is no longer in the scope of the two of them, the reason is very simple, look at the performance of the Knights of the End now, no one is not enmity with him is news......... And judging from Yu Lian's answer, this person is obviously his feud, but this feud seems to be a bit substandard, because generally speaking, they are all equal in strength, and they are called feuds if they can fight to the death, but looking at Yu Lian's performance, although there are some twists and turns in the middle, the ending is still easy and playing...... Perhaps the other party also knew that Yu Lian meant something, so this time the man in black did not speak immediately, on the contrary, he was silent, as if he was no longer speaking. But soon, he accepted Yu Lian's suggestion very "humbly".
"Well, then, I'll change it, Yuren. Hopefully we'll see each other again, and this time, we're definitely not going to lose. β
"I don't think you have that chance anymore, old and immortal. β
But Yulian shook his head.
"You may not have had enough, but I'm tired of it. β
"It's not up to you, Yuren. β
This time, there was a very relaxed smile in the old man's voice, and this also made Yu Lian clearly aware that something was wrong, at least there was some difference from the previous times -- so what was the difference?
"I'm looking forward to seeing each other again. β
Then, the old voice repeated the phrase again, and then, his voice faded away, and the loud noise from before came from the black body again. And this time, Yulian finally didn't let the other party say anything, and after hearing the noise, he kicked the black body into the air with a sudden kick, and then turned around.
"Okay, now that the fight is over, let's go home and wash up and sleep. β
And right behind him, the black body that had flown into the distance exploded completely with a "boom" and turned into pieces.
For Yuren, this is a very ordinary group fight, but for the Bird family, it is much more tragic, because the unknown people are hiding in his territory, and Yuren and his men have dealt a blow to the destruction of the surname and the destruction of the city where these people are hiding - a third of the area has been completely destroyed, not to mention the final whip of Ofariel that pierces the entire city, bringing a striking scar. It wasn't so much because of the length of the whip in her hand, but more because of the fluctuations caused by that great power.
In terms of casualties, it is better to say, after all, the fighting was not fierce at the beginning, and when they realized that something was wrong, many people immediately chose to slip away. Only a few guys who tried to hide in the distance to watch the excitement and those who didn't have time to escape were swept in. However, these naturally did not need to be Yuren's heart, so the Bird family had to come out to appease the people, on the one hand, they announced that Yuren attacked because they had found a very dangerous enemy, and on the other hand, they also gave a considerable degree of compensation to the victims of this tragedy. Not everyone could accept this outcome, but what could they do? Now they were able to keep their peace entirely by relying on the Knights of the End, and even if they were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do. But frankly speaking, the reason why the people have such a reaction may have something to do with the image that the Knights of the Last Dead have always had. If the Church of Holy Grace had done this, there would have been many people who would have been very angry and asked them to give themselves a reasonable explanation and an apology. However, with the change of the Knights of the End, everyone is much calmer......... Anyway, they all know what kind of force this is, and in short, it will definitely not be the embodiment of justice and kindness.
However, the matter does not end there.
Farin and Offariel didn't know exactly who they were fighting until they returned to the Twilight Forest, and Offariel had received some specious news from Charlotte, and Farin had no idea who was fighting him. And she is still the most concerned, after all, in the previous battle, she had never seen the other party's weird, similar to the Mage Guild construct, and there was no mention of a similar existence in the records of the Mage Guild. This made Faren quite confused, and she even wanted to report the matter to the Mage Guild, hoping that they would investigate.
But in the end, Yuren stood up and persuaded her to dispel this idea, for the simple reason that it was a matter between their friends, and Yuren didn't want outsiders to know. Moreover, he also hinted vaguely that the Mage Association has no way to complete this kind of investigation, because in this way they will challenge the bottom line of the Final Knights, although Yuren did not release any cruel words, but Faren also understands that if the Mage Guild investigates the intelligence to the head of the Final Knights, what will be the result and the end.
Of course, she didn't want to see such a result, so in the end, she could only be full of doubts but helpless to stop asking questions. For the others, it was just a small episode, and after it was over, Charlotte went back to her job, Judy returned to the Red Fortress, and the twin sisters were as full as ever......... As if everything was normal and there was no difference from usual.
But only Ofaril was keenly aware that Yulian was a little different from before.
And so it is.
Don't look at Youlian in front of everyone with a calm and confident appearance, it is only out of his habit and his duty as the head of the Knights of the Last Yan -- the Knights of the End have always been a symbol of irresistibility, and as the commander of such a force, of course, he must also show complete confidence and arrogance. Any deliberate show of weakness would lead to uneasy thoughts about the Knights of the End, which is clearly not what Yuren wants. So he rarely makes a low posture, and politeness and low voice are completely different concepts.
But Yuren is also a human being, and he also thinks and suffers, but he can't let others know about this, and it will be a sign of the decline of the Knights of the End in the eyes of outsiders who don't know him, and those who know him will worry about his state, and neither of these are what Yuren wants to see.
In fact, Yu Lian is indeed distressed at this moment, and the direct cause is the conversation with the man in black before.
In all fairness, it's not the first time that Yulian has played against the other party, he has won all of them in history, without any defeat, but Yulian knows how difficult these guys are, and the reason why he can win them all is because every time he can adjust the situation to his own side's initiative, it is better to wait for work than to take the initiative to attack. It has always been like this before, and the understanding of myself and the other party about each other has reached the point where there is no need to fight an information war at all.
But now what does that guy's last sentence mean?
"We'll meet again?"
He should be very aware of the current situation in this world, and if the Knights of the Final Ark successfully implement their plan, Yulian can be sure that he will never have the chance to meet that guy again. And now, the other party is clearly aware of this, but what is the situation when he deliberately says this?
This doesn't seem to be a good trick, after so many years, they have fought each other countless times, what is the use of this level of psychological warfare? And they should also know very well that if Yuren really accomplishes the goal of the Final Knights, then it means their complete defeat, and the possibility of seeing Yuren in the future is infinitely equal to zero.
Bluffing?
Yuren didn't believe such a conclusion, he could tell if the other party's tone was fake or real. So far, it has not been possible to determine that the other party is necessarily real, but at least the disguise can be removed.
Then the next options are very limited.
For the sake of prudence, maybe you need to go back "there" to see what is going on?
Sitting at the desk, Yulian frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk in front of him, but he didn't make a decision immediately.
Frankly speaking, if he could, he really didn't want to go back, not because of any unspeakable memories, but purely because he was lazy......... Troublesome things have always been avoidable.
And just as Julien was immersed in his own thoughts, there was a knock on the door of the study.
"Come in. β
Hearing the knock on the door, Yuren quickly retracted his thoughts, coughed lightly, then looked up at the door, and then, the door opened, and Ofariel walked in.
"O'Fariel?"
Seeing O'Fariel's appearance, Yu Lian was a little surprised, generally speaking, O'Fariel should be dealing with affairs at this time, right, he originally thought that it would be Charlotte to report something to himself, but now it seems that this is not the case?
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, Lord Yuren. β
Hearing Julien's inquiry, Offariel nodded slightly, and then she walked into the room, closed the door casually, and then looked up at the young man curled up in a chair in front of her.
In fact, O'Faryl was a little nervous at this moment, and frankly speaking, although she could see that Yulian was a little absent-minded these days, it wasn't a big deal, everyone would have a lazy and relaxed side, especially Yuriel, who had almost never seen him nervous since she met him. This time, though, O'Faryl still felt that something was wrong, and she always felt that Julien's current behavior was related to those mysterious and strange enemies from the previous days. So after hesitating for a long time, O'Faryl finally decided to ask what the situation was, and she found herself a fairly suitable reason -- as his lieutenant, it was indeed necessary for her to find out some of the problems of the chief.
It's just that in front of me, O'Faryl still can't help but be a little nervous, she knows that in fact, she has no say in this kind of matter, after all, there are many people who care about Yuren, Charlotte, Messiah and Semiya are closer to Yuren than herself, if you worry about nothing, you can't talk about yourself, but O'Fariel still made this decision, and now, she has no way out.
So, in the face of Yu Lian's puzzled eyes, Her Royal Highness the former princess took a deep breath, and then calmed down and looked at You Lian quietly.
"Lord Yuren, have you been on your minds lately?"
"Oh?"
Hearing Ofariel's inquiry, Yulian raised his eyebrows, and instead of answering immediately, he quickly gave a rhetorical question.
"How?"
"Because ........."
Now that it's been said, Ofariel doesn't have any scruples.
"You don't seem to be acting like you're acting quite right these days, so I'm a little worried about whether there's something on my mind. If you have any problems, you can say them and solve them together, Lady Yuren. After all, I am your lieutenant, and it is my duty to share the worries of my superiors. β
Although what was said above is very reasonable, but in the end, Ofaril still did not forget to pull out the most formal reason to foreshadow.
Sure enough, hearing Ofariel's answer, the corners of Yulian's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Worthy of my adjutant, frankly, I really didn't expect you to be able to ............"
Yuren was going to say "you can tell", but considering that it would hit Ofariel's positive surname, he skipped this paragraph directly. Then he quickly shrugged his shoulders and gave an answer.
"It's true, I'm bothered by a little problem, because my old friend gave me an ambiguous answer, which gave me a bit of a headache, I don't know if it's 1+1=2? or 1+1=3?"
"Ambiguous answer...... Is it?"
O'Faryl frowned at Yuren's answer and whispered in response. Frankly, she didn't know what the problem was with Yuren, and it was the same now. But since Yulian has an idea, it's better to listen to it yourself. It's just that what Ofaril didn't expect was that Yulian quickly waved his hand this time.
"So, I decided not to think about it for the time being, after all, there are a lot of things in front of us now, the kind of things that don't know when they will happen, and we can think about it when we are free. It's like a person can't always think about where I'm coming from and where I'm going to go while eating. β
"Since you say so, then I think Lady Yuren must have made a choice. β
Hearing this, O'Faryl breathed a sigh of relief, because from Julien's answer, she had seen the shadow of the previous self-confidence, and in fact, it was exactly this that O'Faryl was worried about. She knew very well that with Yulian's strength, if he was sober, then there was no problem that he couldn't solve. But O'Faryl was worried that he would make some bad choices in a state of confusion, so he came to ask. And now that Yulian has made a choice, then she is relieved. As for what the question that bothered Yuren was, Yuren didn't say, and O'Fariel didn't ask again. If it had been before, maybe she would have wanted to find out, but since she woke up and learned a bunch of surprising truths from Yuren, O'Farriel knew that the mystery surrounding this man was probably calculated in centuries, and she couldn't intervene at all, so she decisively stopped caring.
"Any other questions?"
"Yes, Lord Yuren, about the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment......... What are you going to do?"
Now that the problem was solved, Offariel immediately began to care about her work again.
"There's no good way to do it right now. β
Hearing her inquiry, You Lian also showed a hint of embarrassment, but soon, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he regained his original smile.
"By the way, O'Fariel, do we have any evidence to prove the connection between the two?"
"Rarely, but not nonetheless. β
"Good. β
Yulian clapped his hands.
"You handle it yourself, you don't have to tell me the result, remember, it's your decision, understand?"
β......... I see, Yuren-sama. β
Hearing Yuren's answer, Ofariel's eyes flashed, and then she quickly answered, but soon, she threw out one last question.
"There's one more thing I need to report to you, Lord Yuren. β
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"According to intelligence, there is currently a resistance force in Olut trying to seek contact with us..............."
Hearing this, Yulian smiled smugly.
The fish finally took the bait.
