That sword qi appeared too suddenly.

It suddenly appeared out of the void, as if it had come from nowhere, and it was going nowhere, and Anna was just unfortunate enough to be on its way.

Wright, the noble swordsman, immediately drew his sword, only to find out in despair that he could not save Anna in time to bypass Kirktor.

Priest Voss, who is better at defense, seems to have chosen to stand by for some reason.

In the end, it was the mage Kirkter, who should have been most caught off guard at this moment, who gave Anna a glimmer of life.

An invisible ring on his left index finger appeared, and then, as if with a hint of reluctance, the magical object trembled and self-destructed, turning into powder and being blown away by the sword wind.

At the same time, a triple nested magic circle appeared out of thin air between Anna and the gray sword qi, but unfortunately, the magic shields they activated were scattered before they could take shape, and each magic circle made a cracking sound when it was torn apart.

However, unlike the common perception that the magic array will become invalid as long as it is slightly damaged, even if these three magic arrays are destroyed, the magic power is still disconnected, and the gray fierce blade is involved.

After all, the fierce blade still broke through this costly obstacle, and thanks to these small obstacles, Anna finally had the opportunity to make "one action".

She looked at Joel, who was standing in front of her at some point, gave up jumping into the shadows, turned around and forcibly took the sword qi with a pair of crossed short swords.

The short sword in her left hand danced with the brilliance of magic power, and the short sword in her right hand was full of fighting spirit.

With a flick of the sword finger in his right hand, the shockwave from the collision between the gray sword qi and the Mithril shortsword was dissipated, and the adobe wall was unscathed in this level of conflict.

"It wouldn't be nice if I broke the wall of my grandfather's house, so why can't we wait outside to do it...... Alas, the second master is always so impatient!" he said helplessly.

Maybe it was the three magic arrays that really took away the sharpness of the gray sword qi, and Anna, who was not good at frontal combat, successfully withstood this ferocious attack, but soon the fighting energy and magic power in her body were still squeezed to the limit at the same time, and she had to turn her head and look at Yoel pleadingly.

Yoel smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Anna, I never cared, but my master also has the power to be angry, and you should agree to this." ”

As a symbolic punishment for her, Joel tapped her on the head.

Anna immediately lost consciousness and was knocked down by the force of the blow, just in time to escape the path of the sword qi.

Voss was shocked, knocked away Wright and Kirkter, who were confused by the situation in front of them, and pounced on Joel, who was about to become the next target of the sword qi.

However, the sword qi that was supposed to hit Yoel next suddenly lost all sharpness, as if it turned into a slightly turbid breeze that dissipated before it could touch Yor.

Joel simply punched Voss and said, "What do you think, I just said that this is the means of my second master, right? How could my master hurt me? But Vos, there is something I want to ask you, why didn't you take action to protect Anna? How do you know?"

The second master, which can answer a lot of questions, thought to Voss, who had been punched.

He walked past Joel, glanced at Roth, who was almost a little stunned by all this in front of him, and then turned to look at the angry Kirkett and the skeptical Wright, who were waiting for his answer, and sighed: "Although I don't know why, she really had murderous intentions towards you just now, just because she heard that you may still have weaknesses." So seeing her attacked, I didn't make a move. ”

Kirkett was stunned by this answer, and Wright was even more surprised, even the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"What the hell is going on, Joel?" asked Roth in a very normal tone, as if it seemed to him that Anna had just accidentally fallen.

"My second assignment after becoming an adventurer was to wipe out the bandits, and Anna was the daughter of the bandit leader. "I wasn't very good at dealing with people who could stealth their bodies, so I didn't find her, and she seemed to have followed me all the way, watching me kill all the bandits, including her father, because I couldn't find any chance to make a move." After that, she ran to the nearest adventurer's guild and became an adventurer, and soon found me, my first teammate, my very important friend!"

"You've omitted too much, right?!" Roth said incredulously, "You said you're friends now? It's been three years, why is she still murderous to you?"

Bandits are the most unforgivable type of people in this world.

As humanity gradually emerges from the shadow of despair of extinction, the shadow of humanity itself emerges along with the light of hope.

This is also known as "criminal act".

However, now that the United Kingdom has officially embarked on the path of reviving humanity, there are very few people who are punished for crimes, because there is a merit in this era that can undo all sins.

That is to purify the filth and reclaim the land.

Because of this, adventurers have two ways to register:

One needs to fill in the background, take the test, write a detailed report to provide information after each adventure, and once you commit a crime, you will be severely punished, and in serious cases, you will even leave a criminal record to escalate and accept various restrictions. But at the same time, you will also get basic training, get all kinds of support from the guild, clothing, food, housing and transportation can get class-related benefits from the guild-related industries, and if you are identified as promising, you will also be secretly protected, etc.

The other does not require all censorship, no matter where you are a wanted criminal, or you are so poor that you only have a rag on your body and only a wooden stick in your hand, you can become this kind of adventurer, commonly known as [no brand]. The price that such adventurers must pay is that they have to be forced to accept the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous tasks from time to time, and the guild will not provide them with any free support, everything must be paid for merit.

Although the conditions are harsh, it is precisely because there is a final "way out" for any evil deeds that those who do not repent are even more unforgivable.

They are parasites on this society, and they are simply ineligible for human rights.

"Is that so?" said Joel, tilting his head, "If the master is killed, no matter how powerful, how charming, and good to me that person is, I will not be able to really let go." I killed her father in front of her, no matter how much her father deserved it, even if Anna was now my best friend, it was understandable that she would occasionally kill me, right? ”

Wright, the third member of the team, covered his mouth from surprise, and said, "No! I've clearly seen her sacrifice her life to save you! Although you didn't need anyone to save you that time, ...... But what is the point of ...... if you are all dead, it doesn't make sense!"

Kirkett looked at Wright's reaction, and for some reason he was angry.

And Roth, on the other hand, because he was being compared to him, he couldn't even think of what to say about Joel for a while.

Although he wanted to warn Joel that even if he was strong, he should pay attention to his plots, but according to Joel, this Anna has been with him for three years, and if she really wants to take revenge, she should have used any means.

Now he, the master, is the inexperienced party, even if he feels that everything is wrong in his heart, he can't think of a suitable reason, so he can only feel that his master is disqualified again.

"Since you said so, I'm sure you're all right. Don't waste time, go out with me to practice swords! This little thing I have meditated on for the past three years in response to your past shortcomings, your words should be able to absorb it in one day. ...... But don't be too fast, I'll get a little hurt if I don't use it for a day......" Roth shook his head to keep from continuing his negative thoughts, and walked out of the hallway without waiting for Joel to answer.

From the beginning of the riots to the present, Elder Walesford has not been able to keep up with the situation and not fully understand what is happening.

As the only person Roth is really close to in the village, he is aware of the existence of the "Grey Man", but ......

Seeing that Joel was about to go out with him, the elder hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Joel!"

"What's the matter, Grandpa?" Joel, who understood what the elder was trying to ask, didn't look back immediately, but just stood there and replied.

“...... What kind of strength are these teammates of yours? Is [he] really that strong?"

Joel didn't answer immediately, but scratched his hair in some distress before he looked back at Wilsford and said, "I'm sorry grandpa, I can't tell." The stronger I became, the more I learned, the more I didn't understand. My second master was once seriously injured by a filthy beast that a pig iron adventurer could solve on his own in order to protect me. But he sometimes secretly demonstrated the realm of sword moves for me, and some of them I still can't say fully understand. ”

“...... Roth will be fine, right?"

"Master, he's definitely fine!" said Yoel with a smile and comforted the elder, "I've read the hidden content in that book many times, and the second master won't do anything bad to the master!"

"By the way, Voss, you take care of Anna, and you will be making amends for not saving her before. I know you all have a lot of questions in your mind, but just spare me for this day, I don't want to waste time reuniting with my master, please!" Joel explained to his teammates and quickly followed out of the entrance.

Hearing this, Voss nodded and asked the elder, "Elder, can I borrow the bed here?" She collapsed and fell into a coma because of the excessive consumption in an instant, and if she could rest well, she would recover faster. ”

The elder touched his bald head, thinking that it might be smoother tomorrow, so he stood up helplessly and said, "Go to my room, the sound insulation is better, and you have questions to ask me later, right?"

“...... Sorry, it's hard for you. ”

After Voss finished speaking, he was about to pick up Anna, but found that Kirkt had already picked up Princess Anna somewhat reluctantly, and at the same time glared at Wright, who wanted to help.

"Don't pretend here, you want to see Joel practice swordsmanship, right?

Wright's face darkened, and he didn't bother to explain anything, but he really left like this.
