Chapter Eighty-Six: Pre-Race Testing
As soon as he heard that the king was going to send someone to test himself, Savan's discomfort deepened a little, he really didn't understand the psychology of these superiors, since they wanted to risk activating themselves, but they refused to believe in themselves. Exewin saw that Savin's face was ugly, so he persuaded him: "Don't make trouble, if it's you, will you casually trust a person who meets for the first time and doesn't know each other at all?"
Sawan hesitated, but replied, "I will!"
Exewin shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You're such a child. ”
Eliza said to the side, "Savan, you just deliberately lost to the people who came to test you, so that you don't have to go to the competition." ”
Exewin said to Eliza, "This is not possible, I have heard that the king's chief of guard is a very experienced man, and it is not easy to hide from him by ordinary tricks, and besides, I have already made a guarantee before the king, and if Savin behaves too badly, even I will become a deceiver of the king." ”
Eliza frowned and said, "What then...... I just don't want him to go to this kind of bloody competition. ”
Exsewin walked up to Eliza with a smile, hugged Eliza's shoulders intimately and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, this game is to celebrate the king's birthday, and the game will not be so bloody, after all, there is a lot of bloodshed during his birthday, which is also unlucky for the king, so everyone will try to avoid casualties during the game, and at most the winner will be over." ”
Eliza stared at Exewin with wide eyes and asked, "Is that really the case? There will be no bloodshed, no casualties?"
"Although it can't be 100% guaranteed, it usually won't be a problem, not to mention that you should also believe in Savan's strength, he is not an ordinary person. Exewin said this, and looked at Sawan meaningfully. Sawan felt as if he was about to be seen through, and quickly looked elsewhere.
The night passed quickly, and the next morning Sahain got up, dressed up, and sat down in the hall waiting for the arrival of the king's chief of guard. When the servants and butlers saw that Savan had a serious face, two large axes were placed in front of him, as if they were going to fight with people, and they frightened everyone away from him.
In a short time the butler came to report that Sir Ayman Shackrife, the king's chief of guard, had arrived, and had asked Sawan to meet him in the front yard. Sawan said to himself, "I'm finally here, I'd like to see how good the king's chief of guard is." ”
Savin strode into the front yard with two axes, and saw a gray-haired old man in silver-white armor, with his back to him, not knowing what he was looking at. Savan was a little surprised, he thought that the king's chief of guard must be a big leader, at least fifty or sixty people would have to come, but he didn't expect an old man to come, it seems that he is not young, this age is still out of toss, so he is not afraid of being broken up?
Savin stepped up behind the old man and said loudly, "Mercenary Sawin has come to meet the head of the guard. ”
Hearing Savin's voice, the old man slowly turned around, and a weather-beaten but radiant face appeared in front of Savin's eyes. The first thing Sawin noticed was the old man's eyes, such clear and bright eyes are not what an old man should have, there is clearly a strange attraction in a pair of bright eyes, which is the gaze of a strong person. The battle intent in Savin's heart suddenly ignited, and he didn't know why he couldn't help but want to fight with the other party as soon as he saw this old man, and every cell in his body seemed to be active.
The old man looked Sahain up and down, and then said slowly, "I am Ayman Shakcliff, His Majesty's Chief of Guard, hello, Sahain. ”
Ayman Shakcliff is a well-known presence on the entire continent, thinking that he had won 70 consecutive matches in the arena of the old capital of Manlorah, and was awarded the Championship Medal by the kings of several countries, and now he has returned to the country of Linky to serve as the chief of the guard.
The position of chief of the guard is nothing on weekdays, mainly to train the king's knights, especially in sword skills, and the king sent someone to inform him late yesterday that he would come to the Earl's Court today to test the strength of a young man. This order made Aiman feel a little baffled, testing what an unrelated person was doing, and this person had heard that this person was not a knight at all, but just a mercenary of the Earl. Although he was reluctant to do so, he still came, because he was also a little curious about what kind of person this would be, and he had to bother the old man to come to the test himself.
Savan's first impression of Ayman was nothing special, Aiman thought that this was just an ordinary young man with strong martial arts, and His Majesty the King was not very proficient in martial arts, perhaps because he thought this young man was good, but in Aiman's eyes, it was too ordinary, and he really looked forward to it in vain. If this was on the street, maybe the old man would have turned around and left, but this is the Earl's Court after all, and he had to go through the motions anyway to go back to the business.
Aiman didn't bother to talk nonsense, he just wanted to send Sawan back to the palace as soon as possible, so the old man didn't even pull out his sword, but said lightly: "Come on, just do it." The old man didn't even bother to pose for battle, so he hung his hands down and put on a posture whatever you wanted.
Sawin thought to himself, "You look down on me so much, I can't do it without giving you some color." ”
On the surface, Sawan still looked mild, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome." With that, Sawin swooped down on Ayman with his axe.
"Sister Axeven, do you think Savin will win?" Eliza and Axeven, who were sitting on the balcony upstairs, watching the battle in the courtyard below.
"I think it's unlikely that the current Sawan will win against this old man, but the purpose of this competition is just to test Sawen's combat power, as long as he can pass the test, it doesn't have to be a winner. Exewin explained.
"But I see that this old man looks weak, will Samhain have beaten him badly?" said Eliza, with some concern.
"Don't worry, this old man is not such a simple character, and there are not many people who can beat him in the entire continent. Exewin laughed.
At this time, Aiman was secretly laughing in his heart, this young man was really the same as he expected, although Kong Wu was powerful, it was still far behind, he had strength but he couldn't use it yet, and he couldn't become a master just by virtue of his bravery. Aiman planned to let Sawan consume about the same amount of physical strength first, and then easily subdue the other party himself, so as to save the face of both sides and not waste his physical strength. With this idea in mind, Aiman began to dodge and move from side to side, allowing Savin to keep attacking him. Ayman expected that it wouldn't take long for a brute like Sahain's to tire him out and get him out of his hands.
But Ayman found out that he was wrong, although Sawan kept wielding two heavy axes, his physical strength did not decrease at all, not only did not fall, but tended to get faster and faster, and his dodge was more difficult than at the beginning. After a while, Aiman found that his forehead was already sweating, and if he just blindly dodged, he was afraid that it would be himself and not Sawan who would exhaust his strength first, which made him feel quite embarrassed. And Sawan laughed secretly in his heart at this time, now he is not what he used to be, after some training by Hortz, although the skills have not improved much, but he has learned a truth, even if the strength cannot be wasted, it must be used in key places. Don't look at Savin's continuous attacks at this time, but he didn't use much real strength, he expected from the old man's attitude that the other party would inevitably take the method of consuming himself first, since this is the case, let's make a plan, everyone will continue to consume like this, see who can't support it first.
Soon Aiman realized that he couldn't fight back, and if he continued like this, the test would be endless, and he saw a gap in Savin's soft underbelly and punched him. If it was an ordinary person who took his punch, he would have to be angry at that time, but unfortunately Sawen is not an ordinary person, and the body of the dragon clan is not something that ordinary strength can shake. "Tong!" There was a muffled sound, and Samin only shook slightly, but Aiman was shocked to the point that his arm was numb, as if he had hit not the opponent's weakness but on an iron plate.
"Good fellow, it's so strong!" said Aiman, exclaiming inwardly, could it be because he was old?
Taking advantage of Aiman's momentary stunned, Sawin's big axe slashed at Ayman's forehead, and Ayman naturally would not be easily chopped, he dodged the axe with a slight movement under his feet, and then raised his knee and slammed it against Sawin's waist. This time, Aiman was sweating in pain, could this kid not be able to make stones, it seems that he can't do it without a sword.
While sighing in his heart, Aiman quickly broke away from the battle, pulled out the sword "lion fang" on his waist, and in a flash of cold light, Aiman stood with his sword and said to Savin: "Very good, young man, really has some ability." There aren't many people who can make the old man draw his sword in a solo fight, and you're one. ”
Sawin smiled and said, "Do you dare to underestimate me?"
Aiman nodded, "I'll admit I underestimated you just now, but now I'll take this test seriously, you have to be careful." ”
Sawin also got serious, clenched his double axe and said, "Very good, let's come and see the real chapter now!"
