"Esdeath, you have almost mastered my swordsmanship. You can go down the mountain."
Edwys said to Esdeath in a cold tone.
"Oh, now?"
Esdeath wiped the blood on her face and said with some unfinished thoughts: "If possible, I would like to stay here for a while."
"Stay any longer and you will die."
Edwys put away his sword and said in a calm tone.
Esdeath's expression is extremely calm now, but the situation on her body is not optimistic. There are many sword wounds all over her body. At least half of her snow-white military uniform has been dyed red. What she just wiped is not someone else's, but Her own blood.
For this cheap apprentice he sent to his door, Edwys had a complicated mood, he was satisfied but also very dissatisfied. Read the book
She is satisfied with Esdeath's talent. Even if she compares with herself, she is indistinguishable. Perhaps she can really bring her sword skills to the fullest. But she is dissatisfied with Esdeath's warlike nature.
During the days when Esdeath went up the mountain, she would compete with him every day. Even if she was beaten black and blue, she would still be alive and kicking the next day to compete with him.
Edwards was speechless as he watched a layer of icy blue silk slowly forming on Esdeath's body, which was dripping with blood, to wrap up the wound and stop the bleeding.
In the face of unreasonable martial arts like "Ice Silkworm Magic Skill", even if Edweis's martial arts is many times higher than Esdeath, unless she kills Esdeath with one sword, she will still use Esdeath's martial arts skills. Des has nothing good to do.
Fear, fear, these emotions seemed to not exist in Esdeath. He had clearly shown overwhelming strength, but Esdeath was not afraid at all, charging at him again and again, and with the ignorant Don Quixote. Germany is different. Esdeath obviously knows the gap between him and her, and what he relies on is not that he won't kill her, but that he fights with himself with a determination not to admit defeat.
Well, that's right, fighting.
Even Edwys had to admit that this was no longer a guidance bureau, but an out-and-out battle.
"In short, I have nothing more to teach you. What you need next is to keep fighting, keep fighting with different types of masters, and completely turn the swordsmanship I taught you into your own. So, go down the mountain. If you stay here any longer, you won't make much progress."
After a pause, Edwys added: "In addition, try not to use your martial arts that can absorb other people's flesh and blood and true energy. The mixed internal power will hinder your way forward. Don't block yourself because of temporary benefits. s future."
A few days ago, someone from the Knights Alliance secretly went up to the Alps. I think they got the news of Edwys's absence somewhere. As a result, they met Esdeath who was practicing his sword and was killed by Esdeath. All flesh, blood, and energy have become Esdeath's nutrients.
"I know, it was to recover from my injuries quickly, that's why I did that. I won't do it again in the future."
Esdeath nodded slightly.
Yan Kai also told Esdeath the same instructions. She remembered it very clearly. It was just that she was seriously injured during the challenge to Edwys. In order to heal her injuries quickly, she had no choice but to absorb the members of the Knight Alliance. Martial artist.
"As long as you know."
Edwines nodded. She still trusted Esdeath's willpower and believed that she would not do anything to harm the future just for the sake of quick gain.
Looking at Edwys, who had been teaching him for many days, Esdeath suddenly felt a surge of pride: "Sooner or later, I will replace you and become the world's best swordsman!"
Esdeath originally thought that Edwys would chuckle, laugh at his own overestimation, or encourage himself, but he saw Edwys seriously shaking his head and saying: "You have a good ambition, but you are in the wrong person. "
"Wrong person?"
"That's right, you got the wrong person. I'm not the world's best swordsman. If you really want to be the world's best swordsman, you should challenge another person."
Edwards replied.
"Who?" Esdeath wondered, "I don't remember
Among the eight great masters in the world, who can use a sword..."
Although Edwise was only ranked eleventh in the world martial arts ranking competition, everyone knows that Edwise's martial arts, except for Xue Wenrong, only the eight peerless masters can win steadily. Xue Wenrong has since Needless to say, among the eight peerless masters, except for the "invincible swordsman" Li Gu, no one specializes in using weapons. In addition to the title of "Europe's No. 1 Swordsman", he is also called "The World's No. 1 Swordsman" by many people.
"He is not among the eight peerless masters, nor is he ranked among the world's martial arts masters, but he is the world's best swordsman, and there is no doubt about it."
Edwards said.
"who is he?"
Esdeath's eyes burst with intense excitement and curiosity.
"..." Seeing Esdeath looking like she was eager to challenge her right away, how dare Edwys tell Esdeath about the "world's best swordsman"? She didn't want to find the swordsmanship with great difficulty. The successor died within a few days, so she said, "You don't need to know now. When you can beat me that day, it won't be too late to find him."
Esdeath said regretfully: "Can't you tell me in advance so that I can see the power of the world's best swordsman?"
"No, your strength is not as strong as LV5. If you find him, you will just die."
Edwys said bluntly.
"In other words, only LV5 is qualified to survive in his hands? It seems that he is indeed a formidable opponent!"
Esdeath became even more excited.
"Okay, then I'll go down the mountain and come see you again when I have a chance!" Esdeath patted the silk wadding off her body, revealing that the wound was completely scarred.
Traitor, do you want to compete with me again?
Edwards said silently.
"By the way!" Esdeath suddenly thought of something and asked Edwys, "By the way, why do you live in a place like this? The traffic is so inconvenient. You don't practice cold-type internal skills, right? "
In the depths of the Alps, there are constant winds and snows all year round, and the temperature is extremely low. For Esdeath, who possesses the "Ice Silkworm Magic Skill", of course he likes such a place very much, but Edwys's internal strength seems to be It's not cold. Why does she live in a place like this all year round? Is it because this place has special meaning to her?
"Because I heard that it's less likely to gain weight if you live in a cold climate."
Edwards said calmly.
"ah?"
"No, it's nothing, let's go."
Edwards urged.
Esdeath shrugged, then went back to the cabin where Edwys lived to change clothes.
After packing his luggage, Esdeath walked out of the cabin, then turned to look at the snow in the cabin.
Every night, Edwines went back to the snow to sit in meditation, and strictly prohibited Esdeath from getting close to it. So, although Esdeath was curious about what was in the snow, he had no way of knowing.
Forget it, let's wait until one day I can defeat Master Edwys, and then let's see what secrets are hidden in this snow! ap..
When facing someone stronger than herself, Esdeath has always been very well-behaved and will never violate the rules set by the other party.
After silently watching Esdeath completely disappear from his sight, Edwys stood quietly for a while, and then walked towards the snowy land where Esdeath was not allowed to approach.
Instead of sitting still this time, Edwines reached into the snow and pulled out a plastic box covered with thick snow.
After brushing off the snow on the plastic box, Edwin opened the lid of the plastic box. Inside were various desserts that had been frozen into ice cubes.
After choosing a few desserts, he skillfully defrosted the desserts with his internal strength. While thawing the desserts, the texture of the desserts was not damaged at all. After taking a bite of the desserts, Edwys always looked extremely bland, as if his face was frozen by frost. Showing a happy expression.
Well, I’m finally gone and now I’m free to enjoy these desserts!
As for Esdeath asking Edwys why he chose to sit in a cold place like the Alps, in addition to the reason mentioned before, there is actually another very important reason why Edwine did not tell Esdeath Si said, that is, in a place as cold as the Alps, the snow is a huge refrigerator, which can be used to store various desserts without worrying about insufficient refrigerator space.
"Brother Yan, please take this group of jade dolls back to the Central Plains and give them to the Guo family."
Yan Kai handed the box containing the jade doll to "Flying Eagle" and said.
"Flying Eagle" took the box and said a little funny: "It's delivery again... I feel like I have become a courier!"
"Then next time I see something like this, just let it go?"
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said.
"I'm just kidding, if you ask me to deliver something like this every time, you can call me 'Eagle Express' from now on!" "
"Flying Eagle" said with a smile, then put the box under his arm.
"Eh? Brother Yan, do you have a gun?"
Yan Kai said in surprise.
From the action of "Flying Eagle" holding the box, Yan Kai saw that there was a pistol hidden under his thick windbreaker, so he asked a question.
Japan is a country that bans guns after all. Carrying a gun in Japan is not only troublesome, but also dangerous... right?
Thinking of the shootings and bombings that occurred from time to time in Tokyo, Yan Kai became less sure.
"yes."
"Flying Eagle"'s face became a little more solemn: "Last time I came to Japan without a gun, I met two guys who didn't know where they came from, and almost capsized the boat in the gutter, so this time it was a little more troublesome, but I still took it. I brought the gun, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.”
"Flying Eagle" remembered the two psychopaths he met last time in Japan. Fortunately, the two of them seemed to have a hostile relationship, and "Flying Eagle" took advantage of the rift between the two to counterattack. However, if they meet again this time, It would be difficult to escape if they hit them, so just in case, "Flying Eagle" decided to bring a gun. Most of his combat power is in the gun. Without the gun, once a fight breaks out, it will He was put into a very disadvantageous situation.
Yan Kai nodded, trusting "Flying Eagle" very much.
The great thing about "Flying Eagle" is not that he can compete with the martial arts masters who have reached the level of "proficient" martial arts, but his extraordinary courage and wisdom, which is why Yan Kai specially asked him to send the Jade Doll back to the country.
After putting away the box, "Flying Eagle" walked out of the abandoned building. Something floated down from the sky and landed on "Flying Eagle"'s back collar, making "Flying Eagle" feel a chill.
"Flying Eagle" looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes all over the sky were falling slowly. It turned out to be snowing.
"It's snowing."
"Flying Eagle" said.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve."
Yan Kai stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on Yan Kai's hand, but they did not melt for a long time.
"Oh, Christmas Eve, you young people should have a good time tonight."
"Flying Eagle" said with a smile.
"Brother Yan, you are not old either. What do we call young people..."
Yan Kai said with a smile.
"In his thirties, he is already an uncle!"
"Flying Eagle" laughed at himself, then patted Yan Kai on the back: "Anyway, you should be busy with the jade doll. Let's have some fun tonight. Don't always be bored alone. The commander said, you are not very old, but you are very thoughtful, just like a little old man, you should go out and play more."
"Master Uncle Li said that?"
The corner of Yan Kai's mouth twitched. This guy had previously praised himself as mature and prudent and a talented person. He had arranged a lot for himself behind the scenes!
Just wait for me, and when I return to China, I will let my father compete with you for custody of Tio, and make you a lonely old man!
Yan Kai said fiercely in his heart.
After seeing off "Flying Eagle", Yan Kai looked at the time and realized it was time to go back to school.
Tonight is Christmas Eve, but it is also the time for the Christmas party, because Christmas
The day of the festival is Saturday, so it is moved to Friday night, which is also the night of Christmas Eve.
It's still some time before the Christmas party. In the club activity room, the members of "Zhongxingshe" should still be doing their final rehearsals. Maybe I can watch my senior's jokes for a while... ah no, just watch for a while. The way the senior sister works hard to bring glory to the club. .
After returning to "Zhongxingshe", Yan Kai just pushed the door in and heard a dance rehearsing inside. So he stood outside the door and waited for a while. When the dance was about to turn the fan, he suddenly pushed the door open and said loudly: : "Sorry, I just had to leave for a while. How was everyone's rehearsal?"
As expected, when Yan Kai entered the door, the girls of "Zhongxingshe" who were rehearsing the dance were stunned for a moment, and then they saw a folding fan flying up, spinning several times in the air and then hitting Kasumigaoka Shiyu's head firmly. .
"it hurts!"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu cried out in pain.
The corners of Yan Kai's mouth began to turn up, and just as he was about to laugh at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Kasumigaoka Shiyu shouted directly: "La La!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
Lala stuck out her tongue and acted cute, trying to pass the test by being cute.
"It would be fine if you did it on purpose!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, however, would not let Lala sneak past him so easily, and pretended to be a senior and taught Lala a lesson.
Yan Kai took a closer look and saw that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's fan was still turning freely in his hand. Even if he stopped dancing, he did not stop turning the fan. It was obvious that after hard practice, he had completely mastered the folding fan and would no longer look like a fan. The folding fan lost control after being slightly affected like that before. Instead, Lala's hands were empty. It was obvious that the person who had just thrown the folding fan away was Lala.
Oh, it’s Lala...
Yan Kai suddenly felt disappointed.
