Chapter Twenty-Seven: For Justice?
Alec was Leona's teacher, and in his mind, the girl was supposed to be a somewhat clumsy country girl who exuded a little childishness.
And yet now......
"Drink!"
In the moonlight, she held a weapon in her hand, and slashed out sword after sword like flowing water.
[It's amazing, I didn't expect her to grow to such a point. γ
Alec had to admit that Leona's performance was completely unexpected.
[Well, although it is still a little young, but one day, Randall will give birth to a powerful warrior. γ
Karen's gaze contained undisguised appreciation.
The girl's martial arts are still insufficient, which can be seen by everyone present, except for the princess of the mage faction. However, they are more concerned about Leona's growth speed, and in just a few years, the other party has grown from a girl who doesn't know anything to a warrior who can fight with Rowan.
If anyone has the deepest understanding of this, I am afraid it is Luo Wen himself. The girl's sword dance completely subverted his understanding of the long sword.
[A special weapon?] Sacrificed some of the power of the slash in exchange for a more dexterous blade. γ
He tried to capture the enemy's weapons with his twin axes, but couldn't find any chance.
[The armor is the same, sacrificing part of the defense in exchange for agile skills.] γ
He defended the offensive while calmly analyzing.
[Although the sword skills are excellent, I am afraid that there is still a lack of experience. What should I do, do you want to sell a flaw?]
He pondered a way to defeat the enemy. Until then......
"I really don't understand......
There was one thing he couldn't figure out anyway.
"Why should a swordsman as powerful as you rely on betrayal to seek glory?"
The girl's swordsmanship is very good, and I want him to clap and praise it. However, this is a contradiction. Even if such a powerful swordsman doesn't betray the Knights, he will get ahead one day. No. Insist on saying something with her strength. Regardless of which clan you join, you will immediately receive a position as a captain.
"Are you still saying things like that? not to mention power, fame and money, if I can exchange that adult's change of heart, even if it is life, I can give it up without hesitation!"
The girl slammed and knocked Rowan flying.
"Hmph, if you care so much about the adult in your mouth, why did you come here?"
He steadied himself, turned and slashed back, sparks bursting from weapon to weapon that lit up the night sky.
"For the sake of justice! Lord Arman is moving on the wrong path!"
The sword made a beautiful arc from the bottom up. Shook the short axe in Rowan's right hand away from his chest.
"Righteousness!? Don't make me laugh!"
Rowan sealed the flaw on his chest with the axe in his left hand, and the fighting spirit of the two of them set off a storm in the courtyard.
He scoffed at the girl's argument that absolute justice never existed, because that was not a way of life that humans could afford. If it is righteous, then when Jessica came to the Holy Church to find him, what he should have done was not to hand over his sister to the Heresy Inquisition to be burned to death?
[No kidding!!]
The axe in his right hand and the weapon in his left hand crossed together, and he fiercely pressed against Leona's blade, and neither of them would give in, allowing the sparks from the grinding between the weapons to splash on their faces. and glare at each other with murderous eyes.
"So...... Would you rather abandon your humanity and become a slave to justice!?"
He roared, flew up and kicked his opponent away. That's right, although the Iron Wing Knights went against justice. It's like the one who once harbored Jessica. However, the camaraderie between friends, the trust between comrades-in-arms. Can all of this be discarded so easily?
"So...... You told me......"
Leona does a light backflip and lands, her sword raised. Squat down and gather strength.
"Between the benefactor who saves his life and the best partner, which one is to help is humane-ah-!!"
The girl roared. It was like a gust of wind rushing towards Rowan.
"What!?"
Faced with the sudden words, Rowan was stunned, and then he was knocked out and smashed into the wall.
"Benefactor and partner, what the hell do you want to say!?"
He struggled to get up from under the rubble of the stone bricks, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, although he was injured, but he was more concerned about the meaning of the girl's words.
"The Duke of Arman was the benefactor who saved my life. Leah and Isabella were my best friends when I was at the Magic Academy, and if you say I should be subservient to human nature, then tell me - which side is human nature to help!?"
The girl raised her sword, the cold blade reflecting the soft moonlight and illuminating her tearful face.
[Cut!What...... So that's ......]
Rowan understood, he had made a huge mistake. The girl does not put righteousness first, but has nothing but righteousness. It's a bad joke that both sides of the fight are the people who matter most to them.
"Ah...... Don't fight!What, make me look like a bad person. β
He put the weapon in his hand back on his waist, spread his hands, and said with a depressed expression.
"But even so, I'm going to say-girl...... Stop using righteousness as a reason. β
The Eight Virtues of Knighthood, Humility, Honesty, Mercy, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul.
As early as when Jessica found himself, he understood that this thing was not something that a normal person should abide by. In order to protect his sister, he lost his honesty and justice, and even his faith. But so what? If Jessica were to be handed over to the Holy See in accordance with these virtues, she would become a real monster.
"Are you going to continue to insult me!? In that case, raise your weapons!"
Leona's eyes almost burst into flames.
"Wake up, I just wanted to tell you that that's not what normal people should do. β
Rowan spread his hands and shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of continuing the duel, his tone was heavy, so heavy that one could feel the deep sigh in his heart.
Not only Rowan, but everyone on the field was silent. Everyone understands what justice is, but everyone also understands what Leona has left now besides justice.
The balance of affection is balanced, with Duke Arman on one side and Ed Nihua's people on the other. The only weight in the girl's hand is this so-called righteousness, so she will hold on tightly like grasping a life-saving straw.
"I ......"
Leona lowered her sword, and she could no longer see any contempt or hostility in Rowan's eyes, but even so......
"I don't have a ...... choice"
[There is no choice. γ
Leona wanted to say so.
But at this moment, a great roar rang out, drowning out all the words, and everyone turned their heads to find that the direction of the courtyard was radiating a terrible magic, that isβthe magic of chaos. (To be continued......)
