Chapter 8 Kuka

“...... The ancient serpent Bairhafu was the first dragon to die in an alien race (for the story of the ancient serpent Bairhafu and the dwarven hero Esseland Eindev, see also Sharti Israg's Twilight of the Dragon), led by the master Essyhande Eindev, the dwarves killed the red-rock lord's watchful dragon using a war machine made of ore from the eastern mountains, and the dwarves paid only 78 deaths, more than 200 wounds, and some mechanical damage.

Although the First Elves have lived in seclusion in the southern forests for most of their lives, as a believer in Dushnita, the Primal Elf Sanctuary sends some young First Elves every four to five years to visit places where Dushnida has shown miracles or righteous deeds under the guidance of their mentors, and the Little Lund Mountain, more than 30 kilometers west of Azonica, is a place where Dushnida once displayed miracles. Before Azonica was founded, the Early Elven Pilgrims began to borrow the dwarven abandoned pit as a resting place. However, with the establishment of Azonica, the first elves who came here for a pilgrimage were driven and raided by the orcs, who even took the small Longde Mountain for themselves and converted it into a shamanic sacrificial place. For a while, the First Elven Sanctuary had to abandon its pilgrimage to Little Longde Mountain, until the undead swordsman Kuka appeared.

More than 30 years ago, Kuka came to the newly built city of Azonica alone and blocked the gate of glory that had not yet been completed, which was originally a monument to the founding of Azonica, and demanded that the orcs release the first elves who had been captured as slaves, or else they would go on a killing spree against Azonica. The self-proclaimed orcs sent a dozen warriors to the battle, but they were all killed by Kuka one by one, and their heads were cut off and hung around their waists to provoke the orcs who did not know whether they were alive or dead. Later, the orcs did not dare to challenge Kuka alone, and united to form a force of hundreds of people hoping to drown it with numbers, but Kuka's strength was obviously much beyond their belief, and the crimson sword in the hands of the undead swordsman harvested the heads of the attacking orcs like harvesting weeds, but in just half an hour, more than a hundred orc warriors were wiped out by Kuka. The orcs later organized several such attacks, but were killed by Kuka. For a whole month, the corpses of the orcs who died under the Kuka sword completely blocked the wide gate of glory, which was supposed to be the gate of glory for the Orcs of Azonica to show the history and glory of the orcs, but it became a more terrifying burial ground than the abyss of the dead, and these orcs who had begun to wield their swords and treat life like grass from the beginning of learning to walk did not even dare to go a hundred steps there.

Eventually, the Great Orc Chief could no longer sit still, and set up a ring in the middle of the open-air arena to demand a life-and-death duel with Kuka. The High Chief assured Kuka that if he could defeat him, the orcs would grant him all his requests, and Kuka naturally agreed to the duel. On the day of the duel, even with the scorching desert sun on their heads, the entire city of Azonica, whether orcs, gnomes, or slaves of all races, gathered in the open air to watch the duel that would determine the fate of Azonica. However, the process of the duel was not as exciting as expected, and the Great Chief, who was the first warrior of the orcs, fell to the upper hand in the sixth round, and after struggling to support for more than ten rounds, he was caught by Kuka and pierced through the chest with a sword.

Kuka's desperate martial arts like a demon god shocked everyone present, so much so that when Kuka cut off the head of the Great Chieftain and threw it into the ring and roared wildly at the audience, none of the nearly 100,000 orcs present dared to raise their weapons to avenge their Great Chief. ...,

In the end, the orcs kept their promise, freed all the enslaved primordial elves and relinquished the little Rond Mountain, and at Kuka's behest, built a beautifully decorated two-storey building in the southern forest style to provide accommodation for the primordial elves who came to make the pilgrimage. Kuka himself sat here to deter Azonica's bad intentions towards the primordial elves, and this has continued until now. And what Harradidick wants to take Leah to is this first elf dwelling known as "Little Lund Tempor".

Along the way, Hareditik had to hold on to Leah so that she didn't get lost again, and the first elf girl, who was curious and fresh about everything about Azonica, kept throwing a series of unbelievable questions at Haredith.

"Hey, Mask Mask, what is this?"

"It's a pig ......"

"But it has no hair and no fangs, how is it going to eat what is in the field?"

"This ......" Before Haredith could figure out an answer, Leah exclaimed excitedly as she pointed to something.

"Mask Mask! Look at you!" Leah grabbed Hareddick's arm tightly, and pointed to a gray elf handyman who had cargo on his head and both arms, but was running steadily forward, and said in surprise, "Uh! He's amazing! You can lift me up and see if you can run so fast, okay?" Hareddick couldn't keep up with Leah's constantly jumping mind, so he had to stop the shouting primordial elf from walking towards little Lund for a while, answering some questions he could answer from time to time.

"Wow!" Leah sighed contentedly as if she had overcome, and finally stopped her barrage of questions, while Harradik was exhausted as if she had fought ten spirit-absorbing monsters. He glanced at Leah, who was humming a Southern Forest tune next to him, jumping like a deer in the woods, and couldn't help but laugh again, and said casually, "Is Azonica fun?"

"It's fun!" said the first elf girl immediately and heartily.

"How does it compare to the Dushnida Forest?"

"Well......" Liya thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, it's fun in the forest, and it's fun here, but I always feel a little different." After saying that, she tilted her head as if thinking about the profound question of "both places are fun, but why do they feel different?"

Hareddik chuckled again and said, "And where do you like to stay?

"Of course it's the forest! It's fun here, but it stinks everywhere, but occasionally the smell is fun. yes, why the hell is that......" Leah lowered her head and fell into larger thought.

Seeing that Leah didn't speak, Harleydick was happy to lead her forward, but Leah's series of shouts just now attracted the attention of others, and just after the two of them let a few gnomes who were arguing with the account books while walking to move forward, a cold voice like metal friction, which made people couldn't help but raise goosebumps, came from behind them.

"Paws, stay away, Drow!"

The two of them immediately turned their heads, and ten meters behind them stood a swordsman about two meters tall wearing a suit of armor that covered his entire body and even his entire face. Although he couldn't see what he looked like, the crimson greatsword behind his back and the rotting smell of corpses and blood that emanated from his body that could be clearly smelled even from more than ten meters away were enough to explain his identity.

"Hey, Mr. Kuka!" Ria greeted the undead swordsman with a raised hand. Haredik looked very nervous in comparison, he let go of the primordial elf girl he had been pulling, slightly bent his body into a bow, and pressed his hands on the scimitar at his waist, and even his breathing became rapid. ...,

"Leah. Kuka replied to the First Elf Girl, and though it was still a piercing voice, somehow it always felt a softness in her words. "The mentor is looking for you. Kuka continued.

"Eun, I know, I sneaked out and it turned out to be so big here, I accidentally got lost, and it was the mask he brought me back. ”

Although he couldn't see Kuka's eyes, Haredith could clearly feel that the other party was watching him, so he immediately said, "The people under you have unclean hands and feet, and they attacked the first elves, I taught them a lesson and brought her back." ”

"Drow, it's a hero, it's a hero!" Kuka let out a burst of laughter that looked like two bones colliding and twisting together, "Drow, it's a hero, it's a hero!" A burst of laughter erupted from some of the warriors around Kuka who were also wearing swords. In Azonica, where the mighty are supreme, Kuka's superb martial arts attract a large number of people around him, who claim to be the samurai guild of Azonica and revere Kuka as their leader. Although Kuka never acknowledged the position, he was happy to have a group of people for him to send for free, so he turned a blind eye to the samurai guilds, sometimes offering them small help in exchange for the guild's continued allegiance to him.

Haredith didn't answer, but pressed his body lower, and the two scimitars had been slightly drawn from their scabbards, ready to start the battle at any moment.

Leah looked around at the laughing crowd and said in confusion, "What's wrong with all of you?"

At this time, a gray elf swordsman standing beside Kuka laughed: "You idiot from the south......" Before he could finish speaking, Kuka's fist struck him with a whistling face, knocking the gray elf a few meters away.

"Shut up. Kuka said coldly, and the warriors around him immediately stopped laughing and closed their mouths.

"Mr. Kuka!" said Lia angrily, "why are you beating people again! Didn't you promise me not to hit people!"

"I'm sorry. Kuka's words were not emotional, and it was impossible to tell whether he was really apologizing to Leah or casually answering.

Leah shook her little head vigorously and said to Kuka, "No! No! Mr. Kuka, you said the same thing last time, but you still hit someone. ”

Kuka was silent for a moment and said to the people around him, "Take him, shaman." Then he turned to Leah and said, "Sorry, again." Leah watched as Kuka's two men picked up the gray elf whose face was about to be shattered to find a shaman for treatment, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of any other way, so she could only snort a little unwillingly.

"Leah. Kuka continued: "The mentor is looking for you. ”

The elf girl, who was still angry just now, immediately became bright, and she said, "yes, yes, I forgot about it just now. Mr. Kuka, Mask, he knows a lot of things in our forest, he even knows Mentor Vilanya, let's go Mask, let's go meet Mentor Vilanya. ”

At this time, Kuka's voice became even colder, if it was just the cold wind of the northern wilderness just now, now it was a cold knife edge: "Liya, get away, stay away." ”

"What's the matter, Mr. Kuka?" Even Lia sensed the unkindness in Kuka's tone.

Kuka raised his hand and pointed at Haredik and said word by word, "Drow, mask, take it off, I know who you are." ”

Haredith hesitated for a moment, but obediently reached out and took off the white mask, revealing his original face. Seeing Haredith slowly take off the mask and put it in her arms, Leah immediately widened her eyes that were as clear as autumn water, covered her small mouth and stared at Haredith and said, "Querion, are you Querion?!",

Kuka continued to speak in a cold voice as if answering Leah's question, pointing at the Drow Elf. "Harley, Dick, Quinn, the Unclean, the Mothericide, the outcast of Dushnida. ”

Leah, on the other hand, ignored all of this, she just stared at Haredike and asked, "Mask, Mask, are you really Querion?!!

Hareditk sighed and nodded to Leah with a wry smile, and Leah, who received an affirmative answer, was overjoyed and was about to hug the drow elf who was full of sin in Kuka's mouth, but Haredith raised his hand to stop her, and said, "Leah, go back to your mentor." ”

"But, but......" Leah was anxious to say something, but Haredith shook his head at her, motioning for her to leave.

Leah's eyes rolled around a few times, and she suddenly laughed and said to Hareddic, "Then I'll go back to Mentor Vilanya first, and we'll see you later, Quillion." After saying that, he waved his hand at Kuka, said goodbye to him, and ran towards Little Lund not far away.

Seeing Leah running into the house, Kuka turned his gaze to Hareddick and said, "Drow, settle the score." ”

From the moment Kuka appeared, Harleydick planned to run away immediately, because he knew that it was not Leah who was in danger at this time, but himself, but he soon found that he had already been surrounded by Kuka's people, and Kuka himself locked himself up, even if he made a slight move, he might be greeted by the crimson sword that could cut himself in half.

Haredith didn't have to hide anything at this time, he pulled out the two scimitars at his waist and pulled out a fighting stance and said to Kuka: "You don't want to listen to me, do you?" ”

"Believe in Zhuoer, Jie Jie. Kuka let out that ugly laugh again, and at that moment, Haredik, who was supposed to be on the defensive, suddenly attacked, brandishing his twin knives and killing Kuka. As if he had expected it for a long time, Kuka on the other side pulled out his big sword and slashed at the drow elves who rushed towards him.

After Hareddick's plan failed, he immediately changed his strategy and set up his double blades to protect his body and twist his body to avoid this knife, but Kuka's next slash suddenly changed to a horizontal cut at this time, slashing at the drow elf who dodged to the side. It was the first time Haredik had seen such a strange swordplay, his ankles and waist working together, and he twisted his body and rolled to the ground, trying to avoid Kuka's slash. But at this time, Kuka's greatsword changed again, locking Haredith like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and making a beautiful cut at the drow elf lying on the ground, this time Haredik had run out of traps, and could only set up two swords in the direction of the greatsword in the hope of blocking the blow. Kuka changed his moves three times in a row, and his speed was weakened, and the blow was firmly blocked by Haredik's scimitar on his chest, unable to move forward, but despite this, Haredik vomited a mouthful of blood as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

The series of actions between the two of them only happened in a few breaths, and in the eyes of others, it was Haredith who rushed towards Kuka, who drew his great sword and drew a Z in the air, while the Drow Elf, who was originally attacking, somehow fell to the ground and was hit by Kuka's great sword and vomited blood.

Although he couldn't read it, Haredith was indeed knocked down by Kuka's blow, and the surrounding onlookers gave Kuka an amazing cheer. But Haredith didn't have time to pay attention to this, he didn't even have time to catch his breath and press the churning blood in his chest, so he immediately rolled a few times into the clearing next to him to avoid the range of Kuka's greatsword.

Haredith gasped and got back to his feet from the ground, only then did he have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, while Kuka slowly retracted his greatsword and said as if approvingly, "Not bad." ”
