It was a knife.

There are no delicate decorations, no cumbersome Noldor patterns, no distinctive signs, not even a blocking hand, the handle and scabbard are integrated, the black exterior hides it, and the slender blade has no curvature.

It was placed there quietly, leaning against the back of the tree, and not saying a word. The morning rain and dew wet its handle and sheath, and the darkness that absorbed all colors seemed to reveal a glimmer of brilliance.

Not far away, footsteps came, not in a hurry. The cloth boots stained with mud and dust make a "rustling~" sound when stepping on the fallen leaves, which is light and soft.

The man has scattered brown hair, short stubble on his mouth and chin, a heavy forehead and flat corners of his mouth, revealing a look of not being angry and arrogant, his eyes are small, but very deep, like the light revealed by the torn clouds, telling his heart.

Some fat tops are tied casually with a cloth belt, and the trousers on the lower body are deliberately rolled up for a while, probably, a raunchy person, right?

The pointed ears peeking out from the ends of his hair showed that he was a raunchy Nodo—this was very peculiar, and it was hard to imagine that the self-proclaimed civilized Nodos were such lazy fellows.

The man approached the tree, and when he saw the knife, he smiled slightly, as if it was a long-lost joy, as if it was a feeling from the heart.

"Old friend, we almost didn't see each other!"

The man quickened his pace and walked towards the knife, but before he could reach out, a fiery red color suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

It's a fox.

It glared at the man, its hair standing on end, as if asserting its indisputable ownership of the black stick.

"He's mine. The man waved his hand helplessly and made a gesture of asking for instructions: "Can I take him back?"

It was clear that the fox was unwilling.

However, it seems that the man did not intend to obtain his consent.

In a flash, in an instant............ The fox couldn't describe the astonishing scene with the poor vocabulary in his head, but by the time it reacted, the stick was already in the man's hand.

Without speaking, the man just clenched the hilt of the knife, quickly spread out a black fan in front of him, and then slowly retracted the knife, and a gray hare lay at the man's feet.

He picked up the rabbit with the end of the hilt, stretched it out to the fox, and said in a negotiable tone, "I'll use this, exchange this." ”

He even gestured with his right hand, gesturing to the knife in his hand and the rabbit on the scabbard.

The cunning eyes narrowed into a slit, and after carefully judging the situation, the little fellow wisely chose the rabbit, bit it, and then scurried into the grass on the side, and did not raise his head again.

"Ahh

He closed his eyes, gasped slightly, and the gentle wind blew into his chest, as if even he had been purified.

"Since the visitor has already arrived, why should Weishenme hide?"

It's like talking to yourself, but it's so loud that people can't help but be surprised.

"I'm so sorry, I hope it didn't bother you. A hearty and sunny voice came from the side, and a young man in a short robe walked out with a steady step.

Bode walked up to the man, smiled, and bowed over his chest as if a student had seen a teacher.

"It's been a long time, Master Yi. ”

....................................

The Noldor are the same as the human beings, they all use alphabet alphabet as the most basic form of writing (there is a theory that the human script was written by the Noldos, but this statement is most severely refuted by all conscientious historians), so the more the pronunciation of the surname in their name, the more it proves the prosperity of the family and the glory of the past, and the long history.

Alpha Yi, his last name has only one sound.

Yi's father is said to have been a good samurai who had an accident during a hunting trip, and his mother lost her life due to excessive grief, and the ill-fated couple left the shijie before they could even name their children.

In this way, it was not until after the age of ten that Alpha, who had lost both parents, received a very common name from the elders of the settlement. As for how he survived this time, no one knows, and some speculate that he may have been adopted by a passing she-wolf, but there is no strong evidence.

Alpha failed to prove who his father was, and thus failed to inherit the surname, and as soon as he learned to write, he casually gave himself a surname using the first pronunciation of his hometown, Illan. Fortunately, no one cares about such a bleak surname.

When Alpha was young, the samurai had not yet been on an equal footing with the rangers, and the hunters practiced swordsmanship more to protect themselves from being close to their prey, and most of the hunters who focused on practicing swordsmanship were just ordinary Nodomans, and the family with a long tradition still regarded the rangers as the root of glory.

But Master Yi changed all that.

His sword skills were incomparable, and no one could even see how he pulled out his blade, and even the siege of three rangers could not make the arrows break through his blade, and it was even more dead when he was close - even if the enemy was on it together, the result would be the same.

The original unknown sword art was valued by the long-established Noldor family, and the sword art was elevated to the same status as archery, and the excellent samurai began to be regarded as the pride of the settlement, and the descendants of many large families began to become obsessed with this new fighting art, including the eldest son of the Ardalia family, Bode.

The orphaned Master Yi was also recognized by the Grand Druid, and was given a legendary long knife, Bleak Night, which is made of the same material as the "Radiant Cross". And was awarded the title of "Juggernaut".

He's almost a living legend!

Alpha, who has gained great prestige and fame, chose to hide in the mountains and forests, and he continues to practice, exploring things that many people cannot understand.

He was joined by many swordsmen who admired his fame and virtues, who had disappeared into the world, and only a few large families knew where they were, and occasionally made contact.

These strong samurai have also become the liliang of the Nuodoren zuihou!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Well, then, son of El Welwin, Bode Ardalia. What did you come to me for?"

Although he said honorifics, Alpha didn't even stand up, just sat on the ground, smiling at Bode who was standing across from him.

"It's because of prophecy. ”

"Prophecy?"

"The human empire has been destroyed, the orcs from the southern end of the sea have taken over the lands of the south and are peering into the north, Noldor needs more liliang to protect the safety of the Silent Forest!"

"Is it so fast?!"

"You know this?!" Bode was even more surprised than he was.

"I once got some fragments of prophecy from the Great Druid, but I didn't expect it to happen at a time like this. Alpha stood up: "If that's the case, then we should have planned earlier!"

"So, it seems that Venerable Brahma, who already knows the prophecy?" Alpha asked rhetorically, "I remember that the prophecy mentioned that we must unite with other races in order to fight against the orcs!"

That was just a selfish response from a human prophet. Bode shook his head, "He's just trying to make humanity suffer less damage, and of course there's nothing wrong with him doing so." But there is no need for Noldor to sacrifice our fellow human beings for the sake of humanity!"

"Noldor, you have the ability to protect yourself!"

"So, now the Forest of Silence needs your Liliang. Bode humbly bent down: "Master Yi!"

"What can I do?" Alpha asked rhetorically, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I resist the orcs?!"

"But your great prestige can inspire the samurai!" Bode looked at Alpha with his head down, "As long as you come forward, all the Noldor warriors will be willing to stand up and unite to defend the Silent Forest, instead of hiding in the mountains." ”

"If that's the case, then I have no reason to refuse!" Alpha smiled, reached out and hung the knife around his waist, holding the hilt with his left hand: "Alpha Yi is willing to fight for the Silent Forest!"

"Is that the bleak night?" Bode looked at Alpha's saber curiously, "Seems too ordinary, right?"

"So, what do you think is a knife?" Alpha asked rhetorically, "What is a knife technique?"

"This ............," Bodø guessed, "is it—a practice, a spirit?"

"No, it's not that complicated. Alpha smiled: "This thing is just a weapon, a tool used to kill people, there is no need to pile up too many gorgeous words for him, he just needs to be strong enough and sharp enough, and the rest is just a foil!"

"Practicing swordsmanship is just to make yourself kill faster. Alpha seemed to be feeling his past: "What really needs to be practiced is the mind that holds the handle of the sword, and cannot be controlled by murderous demons!"

"None of this seems to be the same as what I've heard and learned. Bode frowned: "I've always seen it as part of my spiritual cultivation!"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Alpha nodded: "If it can help you be stronger, it can be regarded as a rare help!"

"But ah, there are limits to strength and dignity. Alpha muttered to himself, "If it exceeds the limit of bearing, it will be shattered and torn apart like this straight blade!"
