Show field

Jieshi’s house is built on the basis of a standard single person. There is only a wooden table and wooden boards used as bed furniture, and there is no other furniture. It should be said that there is no room for these two pieces of furniture. The free space below is at most the size of two adults standing glued together.

In such a small space, if there are visitors, they can only be invited to sit on the bed, and I am standing at the gate.

As for tea, snacks and other tableware and food for guests, it is impossible to exist.

Don't worry about the risk of being stolen, because there are no expensive things in the house.

However, a visitor still appeared in this kind of room with almost no guests. It should be said that he forcibly broke into Jieshi's room, lifted Jieshi who was still lying on the bed, and threw him to the gate. The "guest" sat down automatically. In bed, look around the small room.

"What are you doing here?"

Being caught and thrown to the ground had happened many times a few years ago, and it was still done by "the same visitor who broke in", but because the drowsiness hadn't completely disappeared, Jieshi's words Appears low and deep.

"A task is given to you."

Compared with Jie Shi's voice just waking up, the guest's voice was obviously louder spiritually, but the old voice traced by the years was still not covered up by the loud volume.

"I thought you needed a meeting with those monarchs today."

Clutching his messy black hair, Jieshi didn't focus on the visitor, but turned his eyes to see if there was any leftover food for breakfast.

Contrary to Jie Shi's random gaze, this visitor exuded an indescribable tension and oppression from the slightly sunken dark green eyeballs, and the half-closed eyelids did not look old and out of spirit, but full of urgency. pressure.

"I hand over the dominance to the Ousha Sakoro family."

"Is it really okay not to attend important meetings?"

"I can rest assured about the Ozazakoro family."

"You can really trust others."

"This is the fastest and most efficient way."

"That's right, summoning people is your specialty, so why are you here?"

Jieshi squinted his eyes and released a sharp gaze, but he felt timid and tense inside.

"The test given yesterday, I know the answer to your decision."

"You know my decision again? Could it be that you can see through other people's thoughts?"

"You are too kind, compared to me and your father, you are too kind."

Living in this small room since he was a child, Jieshi has been used to living alone, and the most painful thing in this living circle is the old man who always visits him once or twice a year.

"It's just that I hate those troublesome things. Besides, there is no choice at all, right? Even if I don't want to, the friends and everyone I like here are all implicated because of me."

"Do you really think you can buy peace with one life?"

Slightly shaking his head to deny Jie Shi's naive thoughts, the old man put his withered and wrinkled hands on his thighs, and stared at Jie Shi with scarred eyes.

"I decided to fight the opponent head-on, so someone needs to pay attention to the movements of the third country. This is the reason why I came here. I decided to send you there, so as to prevent the Magic Kingdom from sending assassins and mercenaries to secretly kidnap you."

"You, what did you say?"

"From now on, you are a member of the team going to a third country."

"You, do you really know how determined I am? Do you know how painful it is when you throw me a problem and make me think about it? Now you come here and ask for war, and then Throwing tasks on me, what? Do you have to play me like this every time?"

He tried his best to suppress the dissatisfaction and anger in his emotions, but finally he couldn't help but scream out these words.

Since childhood, he has needed to be manipulated by others, even the leader of the hostage team back then.

It is a very different reality than the dream of a carefree life longing for freedom.

In fact, Jieshi just lived a controlled path.

"Your power is an important asset of our country, and Ozasa Koro is our power of light, so you are the absolute power of our country."

Facing Jieshi's childish attitude, he didn't get angry or sad because of it, and thoroughly implemented his own ideas, as if Jieshi's words didn't need to be ignored at all.

"You've said that phrase many times,"

"That's right, since your father intends to let you live, he will naturally serve my country well for my use, and congratulations on being able to use the Excalibur to such an extent."

"It was just a coincidence."

"There is no luck on the battlefield, and there is."

He paused for a moment, and continued to speak regardless of whether Jieshi really listened carefully.

"Make a good relationship with the young lady of the Empiri family."

It doesn't refer to the person Empiria, but the name of the Empiri family, that is to say, this standard political method, action with a purpose.

Although I don't know the reason for the sudden appearance of this sentence, since it was blurted from the mouth of this visitor, there is no need to keep it in mind.

"If it's a request, I don't have to obey it."

"This is not a request, but an order, and you have no right to resist."

After calmly saying what he wanted to say here, the old man slowly stood up from the bed and walked towards the gate.

"Since the title of hostage captain has disappeared, the Excalibur will naturally not return to your hands. Before leaving for the third country in the near future, prepare a weapon first."

"I'm so sorry, I haven't received an order to go out."

Hearing that this was obviously intended to use the "order" to refute the old man's "order to find a weapon", the old man tensed his cheeks, and his dark green eyes looked at Jie Shi who didn't dare to raise his head and could only open his mouth to complain. He shook his head and opened the wooden door.

"Then lift the restrictions on you, this is my personal order."

Click.

After finishing speaking, he went outside, closed the wooden door, and let Jie Shi in the room interpret the sentence.

Tread.

Confirming that the footsteps of the two swordsmen in charge of the guards and the visitor were gradually leaving, Jieshi let out a continuous sigh of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Even if the bed is at the risk of being hit and cracked, the whole person lies down on the bed.

Covering his eyes with his arms, hoping to delete all the pictures of seeing the old man.

"What a hateful old man, hateful, hateful, so hateful."

Lying freely on the comfortable grassland and ending this life with a relaxed attitude is Jieshi's biggest dream, and a large part of the reason for such seemingly negative and lazy thoughts is the will to resist the old man.

"The room is full of mold, let's go out."

I wanted to delete the annoying images and memories, but this made my brain remember the conversation with the old man more deeply. The last solution I came up with was to obediently put on the cloak that covered my body and go out of the countryside to wander around the capital. , Try to stuff the rest of the boring pictures into your head, and then forget all those annoying processes.

"Will Fuao, as the eldest lady of the family, betray me?"

I had this premonition long ago, but when I came back here, it was impossible not to face this problem.

It's not a secret that cannot be told, but what Jie Shi is really worried about is that this information may bring danger to Feng Ao.

He took away the shabby brown cloak with dust and cobwebs in the corners, put it on, opened the wooden door, and headed towards the vast and pleasant farmland.

"Um?"

On the previously uninhabited muddy road, a guy who also covered his whole body with a cloak jumped out from the farmland, only showing bright green and indifferent eyes.

It's not the bright green eyes that are almost representative, but the naturally indifferent gaze is too familiar.

"I have something to ask you."

"Sure enough, you will also sneak out."

From under the cloak, Feng Ao gently showed an indifferent smile with upturned corners of his mouth, which made Jie Shi put down his nervousness and take a deep breath.

"Then what are you doing in this village?"

"Why did the leader appear in your house?"

as predicted.

"So you found out that he came to tell me that I would be appointed to a third country and prepare a weapon at this time."

"Jieshe, are we friends?"

Blunted this inexplicably, but Jie Shi still responded without thinking.

"Well, of course friends."

"What is the real reason why Mr. Chief came to your house?"

not trusted.

Even if you tell the truth, the other party still doesn't believe it, but if it's about Feng Ao, then it's not a matter of trust or not.

It was Feng Ao who saw through the leader's purpose of going to Jieshi's house, it was absolutely impossible to just tell these things.

"Still full of curiosity as usual, there is really a gap with your ice cube face."

"Aren't you going to say it?"

Shaking his head slightly in denial, he didn't respond immediately, and continued to move forward silently, covering the whole body with a cloak, and glanced at the farmers who had known each other for several years but hadn't talked to them a few times.

In Jieshi’s memory, everyone in this rural area lived very hard in the past. They often fell into the predicament of not having a meal due to many disaster seasons. In addition, there were not many gold coins and taxes were needed. There was a high probability that some families could only drink for several days. The rice field water satisfies hunger, but even so, it survived smoothly.

These have become memories.

From leaving the magic kingdom to nearly a year before returning, according to Feng Ao's report, it can be known that the kingdom of swords is gradually turning to stability and peace, and the people no longer fall into a life without a meal, at least they can eat every meal.

But now the scenery under the eyes is that each farmer is doing his own work on the rice field, and they are neighbors but they don't talk too much. Seeing Feng Ao and Jie Shi who are covered in cloaks, no one wants to take the initiative to talk, for fear of causing trouble. pile of trouble.

The indifferent gaze, only willing to focus on his own work, these behaviors are very similar to those of the residents of the Magic Kingdom.

"Fuau, the residents have changed."

"Don't change the subject."

"In the past, a famous neighbor always took care of me, gave me food when I was hungry, gave me shelter when I was escaping, and warmed me when I was suffering. At that time, I knew that if I have the ability in the future, I must give back to her."

"Jessie—"

Before Feng Ao, Jie Shi shifted his gaze to Feng Ao's face and continued speaking softly.

"I know your personality, and you only ask such urgent questions when you encounter a situation. It is definitely not accidental that you appear here deliberately. According to your personality, is there any reason? And you should investigate first before you come to me. Although I really want to say that curiosity will kill you one day, but you must be tired of hearing it by now, right?"

There was a helpless tone in the words, this expression full of melancholy and worry was completely different from Jie Shi who usually held a relaxed and leisurely attitude.

"Before we fought against the enemy and solved the troubles together, the team and mutual trust are in our hearts, but now you want to dig out my secrets, um, how should I put it? I'm a little sad."

"We are swordsmen in the kingdom of swords, and members of our respective families. We have our own responsibilities for each other. Jieshi, you must recognize this."

The same cold and steady words as usual.

At this moment, it sounded like an ice cone piercing into Jie Shi's heart.

A free, warm and comfortable life is still too naive.

"Do you see reality as clearly as Yan?"

Hearing Jieshi's words, Feng Ao immediately shut his mouth tightly and stared at Jieshi silently.

The grief-stricken look just now was like a hallucination, Jie Shi in front of him took a deep breath and then returned to his usual casual attitude.

"Oh, it's really strange. I can see your panicked appearance. Anyway, how about going to buy a weapon with me? Who told me I have a mission."

Feng Ao was silent for a while, and squirmed his pink lips.

"come to my home."

"what?"

"My sister is a craftsman, I can guarantee the quality, the transparent steel sword is made by my sister herself."

"Wow, this technology is really amazing."

This is a sincere praise from the bottom of my heart. The manufacturing process of ordinary weapons already requires a considerable amount of physical energy, energy, and time. Therefore, it must take more time to make a weapon made by delving into a special research method than an ordinary weapon. , spirit, let alone a woman to make it.

Jie Shi, who understood this, suddenly thought of something.

Feng Ao's special long sword called fiberglass sword or transparent steel sword was broken by Jie.

"Hey, Fuao, can I ask one thing?"

"Um."

"Does your sister know that I broke that sword?"

"do not know."

"Then will I be hacked to death by her?"

"She's very kind and won't do anything to you."

After finishing speaking, Feng Ao walked up to Jieshi like a tour guide, and softly said the word "probably".

"Hey! I hear you!"

Even though he complained vigorously, Jie Shi still obediently walked behind Feng Ao, while Feng Ao walked in front so that Jie Shi could not see him, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Seriously, am I going to be hacked to death?"

"I'll stop her."

"There is really no guarantee."

"Because you are my partner."

"Damn it, what an irresponsible statement, in this case you really want to protect me!"

"Let's go."

The path to follow is to move from Geshe's residence to Weir and then to Fengao's residence.

In fact, there are many shortcuts, but the two of them don't know the detailed location of each other's house at all. The only thing they know is the big coordinates of Weir, so they can only obediently take this long and troublesome road.

"Hmm... Anyway, it's boring, Feng Ao, I'm just going to tell a boring story, an ordinary and boring story."

Jie Shi, who was walking beside Feng Ao, raised his head and looked down at the sky, looking at every flock of birds flying freely in the light blue sky.

"This is also a boring story I heard from other people. If I remember the background correctly, it was the time when the leader and the members of the Ozakro family joined forces to wipe out the monarchs in the civil war. The military strength of the two families was far greater than that of other monarchs. Unreachable heights, seeing that the situation is about to be swallowed by the two families, the rest of the monarchs are very smart to understand that at this time they need to cooperate to fight against these two giant tigers, so the kingdom of swords fell into a stalemate for a while."

Speaking of the stories here are all history recorded in books, it should be said that they are basically the basic learning content in the Sword Kingdom School, and it is the recent history that everyone knows.

"In the end, the two major families relied on mutual assistance and tactics to break through this predicament."

"Ah, the textbooks I study are also written like this, but the content I have heard is slightly different."

"..."

"Mutual aid and tactics cannot be created out of thin air. At that time, the leader went to the Gathering Forest hoping to conquer a wild beast to help out and break through the predicament that could not be determined. But at that time, he happened to see a homeless man holding a branch and a tree comparable in size. When animals fight, their swordsmanship is not only different from swordsmen in the kingdom of swords, but their strength and speed are far superior to ordinary swordsmen. At this moment, the leader will do everything possible to contain this monster in human skin, especially to defeat the animals in the forest. Afterwards, I became even more determined to be the leader.”

Like a child listening intently to a story, Feng Ao is so quiet that his breath is about to disappear, but his cold eyes are fixed on Jie Shi's face, and his brain carefully analyzes the story.

"Then it's a very boring history, successfully defeating the monarchs of other forces, and at the same time driving away the constantly harassing Magic Kingdom."

"The glory of the supreme swordsman."

"Do you think this is glory? Maybe it's strange for me to say this, but I think the invisible spirit of swordsman glory is the most terrifying."

"horrible?"

"Thinking from the perspective of other countries, isn't this just crazy fanaticism?"

"Brain burned?"

"Ahaha, what you said is really poisonous, you even said that to me, anyway, go to your house quickly, and teach me how to explain to your sister first."

"No explanation needed."

"real or fake."

"real."

Jie showed helplessness almost filled his heart.

Compared with some redundant ideas, it is more practical to find a way to solve the problem of weapons.

So how to explain it?
