Chapter 20 Obsession
"Big rooster, long time no see!"
The words "big" made Andrei's body visibly shake, and when he was young, there was a person who always called him that. And that person can be said to be the obsession in Andrei's heart, even if he already thinks that the person is no longer alive, but his name has always been firmly imprinted in Andrei's mind.
Hearing the words of "Old Seven", Andre's pupils shrank suddenly, looking at the man in front of him who stretched out his hand to remove his disguised mask, he froze, and after a while, he said in disbelief: "Really... It's really you!"
With fiery red hair, golden eyes, and a handsome face that has just taken off its childishness, with a somewhat elegant and handsome face, isn't it the star mark that everyone thought died in the fire in the old city eight years ago!
"Starmark, you're not dead, where have you been all these years, why haven't you come back!" Andre was surprised to see Starmark, but more than that, he was excited.
Starmark shrugged, a smile on his face, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Of course I can't die, I'm blessed with a great life, and I've learned a lot." By the way, didn't the teacher always teach me to use my own hands to earn money? You see how obedient I am, and indeed, as the teacher said, I earn more than before. β
Hearing Starmark's words, Andre's excitement suddenly vanished, he knew very well what Starmark meant by living with his own hands, just like the purpose of his coming here, it was stealing!
Andre was still excited just now and wanted to rush over to hug the star trace, but at this time, he looked very sad, and his whole person showed a touch of loneliness.
Starmark didn't speak, just looked at Andre with a smile, as if waiting for him to speak, and after a while, Andre finally spoke, he sighed, and said regretfully: "You misinterpreted the teacher's meaning." β
"I don't think I did. Starmark still had that sneering smile.
Looking at the star mark, Andre suddenly found that the other party was no longer the star mark he knew, and in eight years, not only did he become distant from the other party, but he became a person he didn't know at all. In particular, the smile on Starmark's face made him feel cold.
The original excitement was replaced by gloom, and Andre was disappointed at the same time, and even had some heartache, and he himself didn't know why this happened. Strictly speaking, Andre's relationship with the star mark is not very good, except for the apprenticeship time, the two are almost hostile relations, but this heartache is real, seeing the star mark, it is like a sharp sword has been inserted in the heart.
Unbeknownst to AndrΓ© himself, his obsession with catching the Star Scar when he was a teenager had created a deep connection between him and the Star Scar. Starmark's wit and cleverness have always made Andre, who is nearly ten years older, frustrated, which further stimulates his obsession to surpass Starmark. When Andre helped him when he was apprenticed to Starmark, although it was said that it was to repay the grace of his life, but in fact, it was more because of this obsession, he wanted to compete with Starmark! I wanted to compete with him fairly, so that I could surpass him! Because of this obsession, many people forgot Starmark, but Andre has never remembered him for eight years, and because of this obsession, Andre chose to join the army, which can best reflect his value!
The reason why Andre can have today's achievements in just a few years is not all because of his extraordinary talent, he has put in too much effort, and he has never relaxed for half a moment in the past eight years, and what gives Andre this motivation is the star mark! Andre has been looking forward to it in his heart, if he can see the star mark again, he will raise his eyebrows and compare the other party.
In the past eight years, although Andre has not said anything, he has been praying in his heart that Starmark is still alive, and just today, Starmark appeared and fulfilled his wish. However, Andrei couldn't be happier. Not only because their identities are no longer equal, but also because he knows that he has lost again after eight years of hard work!
A touch of self-deprecation appeared on Andrei's face, he raised his head, looked at the star mark, and said with bitterness in his voice: "Why don't you wait for me to leave and then let him faint, so that you can take the sword away without hindrance?"
"Of course, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to say hello to you, and besides, this sword, even if you and I can take it again. Starmark said casually, but the words were like an iron cone, piercing straight into Andrei's chest.
In the face of Starmark's ridicule, Andre did not deny it, but closed his eyes, at this moment Andre felt so tired, so tired that he was unwilling to say another word, nor did he want to put on any kind of expression.
Starmark didn't bother with the Overseer's Sword, but just looked at Andre triumphantly, admiring his pain. Starmark has already investigated, this is an assessment, and he took advantage of it, the Sword of the Overseer is such an important thing, it is impossible for Shawsenard not to be prepared to defend it, and the lieutenant is actually the person guarding the Sword of the Overseer. Although Starmark is not bad, if he wants to go head-to-head with the lieutenant, he knows that he is no match for the lieutenant. So he took advantage of the assessment arranged for Andre this time, secretly knocked down the actor of the thief who had been prepared in advance, and completed the assessment himself. In this way, he can not only steal the sword in the open, but also take the opportunity to approach the adjutant. Although the star mark in a head-to-head confrontation can't beat the adjutant, if the other party sneaks up from behind when the other party is completely unsuspecting of him, at such a close distance, the adjutant will not have time to resist even if he finds out. And it turned out that Starmark's plan was very successful.
Andrei, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke again, but this time, his voice did not hear any emotion: "You go, general, they will be here soon." β
"Okay. Starmark readily agreed and stepped forward, but instead of the door he had left from, he was walking towards the Overseer's Sword on his desk!
Starmark had just taken two steps when a spear struck Starmark in front of him with a cracking sound. Although it was a standard spear used by a sergeant, the golden light faintly attached to it produced an astonishing sharpness.
Starmark glanced at Andre, who was holding a spear, and sneered, "Didn't you say let me go?
Andre looked at the star mark and said with a firm expression: "I lost, but I must defend this sword, and if I go one step further, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood!"
Andre would never allow Starmark to take the Overseer's Sword, not only would he be severely punished, but more importantly, General Shawsonard would also be implicated. Although Andre is still only a soldier in the army, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the intrigues in the court, and the star mark comes to take the Overseer's sword, so there must be someone behind him to deal with Shawsonard.
"Hey, since you won't let me take it, then there's only one fight?" Starmark's voice came out again, and the sarcasm became even stronger.
"Good!" Andre only replied with one word, and the battle intent in his eyes rose in an instant, and a battle with the star mark could be said to be what he needed the most at the moment! He was defeated by the star mark again in terms of strategy, then the only thing he could prove himself was to fight! The hard work and sweat he had paid in the past eight years would all be pressed on this battle!
"Hum~" The spear flickered, and the golden light drew out, and it came to the chest of the star mark in a flash.
Starmark's eyes narrowed slightly, and on the side of his unhurried body, he just dodged the spear that Andre stabbed, and then leaned out with his right hand and grabbed it directly on the spear.
When a weapon such as a spear is caught, the user will generally fall into passivity, but the battle spirit in Andre's eyes is full of intent, and he doesn't care about the star mark grabbing his spear, and with a soft drink, the golden light on the spear suddenly shines. At this moment, Starmark only felt a tingling sensation transmitted to his hand, as if he was not grasping a spear, but a rattan whip full of sharp thorns, and the "sharp thorns" were about to cut his palm at any time.
The feeling from his hand made Starmark look shocked in his eyes, and he immediately let go and retreated. When Yu Guang looked at his palm, he found that more than a dozen wounds of different depths had appeared on his hand, and some of them were oozing blood.
When he looked at Andre again, the sarcasm before Starmark had disappeared, and his face had become much more solemn, and he had realized that the man in front of him was no longer the "big rooster" who had often been miserably treated by himself when he was a child, but an opponent who needed to deal with it with all his might.
The next moment, a faint white light appeared on Starmark's hands, and when I looked closely, I saw that a pair of white gloves had appeared on Starmark's hands at some point, which looked very thin, and even through the gloves, you could see the blood stains overflowing from Starmark's palms. Despite this, Andrei did not take it lightly, he knew the star mark too well, and the star mark would not do useless things.
The two of them didn't say much, and the battle began again, and the golden spear turned into a flood of light and shadow, like a blooming firework. And the star mark is like a smart bird, soaring freely in the "fireworks".
The golden light on the spear became more victorious, and the sharp energy was enough to cut gold and iron. However, the thin gloves on Xingji's hands were like "insulators", and when the palm of his hand brushed, the sharp air flow suddenly dissipated.
As the time of the fight grew, Andre gradually began to fall into the disadvantage.
With the battle, a trace of doubt rose in Andrei's heart. Although the movement of the star mark is very fast, the control of the force, and the position of the attack are also very tricky, it can be said that the means are very clever. But for some reason, his battle lacks a kind of momentum, a kind of sharpness that should be in the fight against people, and it is also the murderous spirit that is most commonly said.
