Aleboru - Spanning about three mountains along the ridge to the west of Leyton Manhari, it is the lowest plain in this area.
There is a manor standing on the hills of the wilderness. Isolated from the world, it is still surrounded by a quiet atmosphere today. There are neither noisy crowds nor the sultry heat of summer, only the bustling chirping of cicadas coming from the distance.
The sound of leaves rubbing against the wind is like the tide. The rural streetscape seems to be burning under the sunset. Looking up at the distant ridge, you can see flocks of birds.
Everything is the same as usual, but as rumors of the doomsday spread, the artistic conception brought by those scenes is no longer solemn and beautiful in the eyes of men.
"It's really strange that in my small and remote place, outsiders can still visit me."
The muscular man, shirtless and sweating profusely, was polishing weapons in the courtyard under the setting sun. Since he had just finished practicing his sword, his tense expression was not yet relaxed when he noticed the approach of the outsider.
"You don't seem surprised, as if you knew I would come?" With a chuckle, in the shadows of the courtyard, the outsider took off his disguise.
"Young man with brown hair and one arm, I'm afraid the so-called "Sage of Heavenly Wisdom" is talking about you. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you escape so easily. Otherwise, I would have asked you to stay and be my direct disciple. "
"I never thought that Lord Sword King would still remember me as a person." Facing the vicissitudes of life but still sharp gaze from the other party, Barong's expression gradually changed from the initial frivolity to concentration.
"Father, are there guests?"
In the tense atmosphere between the two, suddenly a little boy who looked somewhat similar to Garius rushed out of the house and ran to the other party's side. The boy held Garius's hand with a worried look on his face, and looked at Barong not far away with a vigilant mood.
The boy inherited the wisdom of his father, the sword king, and could tell at a glance that the person coming was not good. He also knew that he could not alert others, so he mentioned the "guest" at this moment.
"If you can leave a name, I can remember it more clearly." Garius picked up the little boy and put it on his neck, without interrupting the two of them because of the little guy's intervention. During the negotiation, he accepted Barong’s words quite naturally.
"Baron Bokar."
"It's a good name. In my opinion, he is fully worthy of the title of Dragon Slayer."
"You should be able to guess my purpose."
"Of course, but I still want to hear it from you."
Facing Galius's blunt words, Baron took a deep breath and said: "I think the protection of seniors can play a vital role in this war of resistance, so I want to win over seniors to join us. Go to the front line and create an opportunity for the brave to confront the Demon King head-on."
"But you also know that I will not go to the front line." Gellius shook his head indifferently, and reached out to pat the little guy's little head: "A person's character is his destiny. I, Gellius Although I am good at fighting, I am also afraid of death. I do not have the heart of a brave man who has the world in mind. Protecting a city and being content in a corner is the greatest support I can give to this struggle."
Baron could understand what the guy meant. Although the boy's appearance was unintentional, it became evidence that Galius avoided suspicion because he had a family. But he knew that even if Garius did not have the "restraint" of a family, he would not be willing to go to the front line with him. Not everyone can shed their blood and care about the country. It is because of the majority of people that the love and will of the brave are praised by people.
So from the beginning, Barong had no intention of inviting him warmly.
As if he saw the growing arrogance in the other person's eyes, Garius took the little boy off his neck and placed it on the ground.
"He is indeed a guest. Come Isaac, go inside and find your mother and ask her to prepare snacks and tea for our guests. Your father, I will talk to this guest outside for now."
Seeing his child running back into the house obediently, and facing Baron's gaze, Garius walked aside and pulled the weapon from the ground as if to say "no need to say anything".
Looking at the heavy sword on the opponent's shoulder, Barong's mind suddenly regained peace at this moment. Different from the telepathy between brothers and sisters, this is a tacit understanding that only men can understand. With just one breath and one breath, both parties are aware of everything.
Looking at the opponent as sharp as a mountain and as sharp as when they first met, that chilling aura is exactly what Barong is eager to welcome - the true nature of the Sword King!
"Let's change the concept and imagine this "invitation" as a premeditated "assassination". Originally, the invasion of the Demon King's Army would be heard by the public a few days later than the current situation. However, through my arrangement, at this wrong time, the people came into contact with the truth prematurely, which triggered a series of turmoil and forced Sa. Bartos Ryder has no time to care about this. "Baron said, pulling out a steel sword from the storage space and inserting it in front of himself.
"So, Senior Garius, facing an "assassin" who is about to take your life, what choice will you make? "
"Do you think that as a sword king, I would easily back down from an invitation to a duel?"
"Invitation to duel?" After hearing what he said, Barong suddenly smiled jokingly.
"That may be true for me. After all, I don't intend to use my full strength, but you can't, Garius."
In an instant, Chudi's sword ignited the miserable soul fire, and in just the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard was enveloped by the realm of earthly fire.
"Is Shenxianxia in flow?"
Gallius showed a little shock after witnessing the scene in front of him. From the sharp eyes of the other party, it was not difficult to see that there was no exaggeration or provocation. Although Gellius wanted to regard this as Baron's hopeless arrogance, that may not be the case, and that guy's confidence may not be without reason.
"Listen, these are my rules, and they are also my restraints. Three rules. First, I will not use any tactics other than contemporary techniques; second, I will only use this remaining arm; third, Decide with swords!"
"Arrogance!" Garius shouted angrily and released an extremely powerful sword. The house did not waver under his control, but all the surrounding trees were not spared from being broken in half, even dozens of meters away. The fence was also affected and inevitably collapsed.
Just this angry shout was enough to prove the Sword King's background.
"You are arrogant. I have never seen anyone below the king level who can be my opponent. How can I allow you to impose conditions in this contest?!"
"You'll know after you try it, but I don't intend to retract my words, and I hope you can try your best to struggle under my sword. After all, I don't want the final result to be just that I made a mistake."
