Whispering Verse

Chapter 1570: knight under blue sky

With the sound of the loud horn and the cheers of the crowd, Xia De led the maroon horse and entered the field with a sword. The jazz on the other side also entered the venue in full armor like him. As the crowd chanted their names, the two waved to the audience together.

The sun this afternoon is particularly dazzling, but since it is not yet summer, the dazzling sun is not so scorching hot.

In this kind of sunshine, under the eyes of thousands of people, to fight a duel with a guy who knows that he is not a human being but looks like a human being, even Xia De felt a little hairy in the corner of his heart.

The two led their horses to the center of the venue, bowed to each other and got on their horses. His Majesty the King, who was sitting on the viewing platform at the top of the auditorium, did not leave because of the relics here. He picked up the small golden pistol on the small table in front of him, smiled and motioned Queen Diana to cover her ears, and then pulled the trigger towards the sky.

Boom!

Shad and "Sir Hells" swung the reins at the same time for the first round of face-to-face charges. Both of them had full courage. At the moment of contact, the vibration and sparks generated by the two steel swords hitting together were enough to A testament to the might of two colossal forces.

Although Xia De knew that the opponent's strength could be stronger with ordinary people's physical fitness, he didn't expect the opponent's strength to be so strong. He didn't suffer from this blow, but because his mount shared the force that Xia De endured, the force of his charge obviously stagnated.

If the next race is still such head-to-head, Shade will not have a problem, but this horse may retire early due to internal bleeding.

"That's not okay."

Shad thought to himself, after staggering and separating from Sir Hells, he continued to charge forward, and then waved the rein to make the horse turn.

At this time, the cheers and applause from the auditorium almost covered all other sounds. Dorothy, who was watching Xia De from the high stands, breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not good at fighting with cold weapons, she could see that Xia De was definitely not at a disadvantage.

"Actually, we should give him more confidence. He has completed countless adventures that can be called miraculous in our opinion. Shade's physical fitness cannot even be compared with Miss."

Tifa whispered beside Dorothy, this stand is very close to where Queen Diana and the king are, and it is reserved for Miss Galina alone. At this point Iruna and her team have left, so they can chat about sensitive topics.

"I know he's great."

Dorothy pursed her lips and turned her head to look at the black-haired maid, her eyes saw her chest uncontrollably, the corner of her mouth twitched but she couldn't do anything about it: "But it's an angel-level relic after all..."

The two watched the duel off the field together. Shade rode his horse and kept dodging Sir Hels's pursuit, while the latter chased after him. Clang!

The knight chasing Xia De on horseback swung his long sword at his back, while Xia De in front turned around and swung his sword back as if he could see what was going on behind him.

The two long swords collided together, sparks splashed everywhere, and no one could clearly see the expressions of the two behind the helmets. After this close confrontation, Xia De did not continue to "run away" forward, but swung the reins to change the direction of his advance.

Instead, "Sir Hells" took the initiative to ride the horse to give some distance to the side. The two horses kept pace at almost the same distance, and then approached again with the command of the master, and then followed the exchange of long swords again. There was a knocking sound, and he was forced to bear the pressure from the master.

In a simple competition of swordsmanship, except for Sister Devlin's accident, there should be few people in the steam age who are Shade's opponents. However, Sir Hells, who was obviously replaced, also belongs to the category of "accident". After the two swords collided with each other, he actually retracted his arm faster than Shad, and Shad stabbed the long sword again. At the same time as he came, Jazz raised his left hand, blocked his attack with his gauntlet, and then stabbed the long sword under Shade's helmet with his right hand.

Shad also raised his gauntlet to try to block it. After the two impacts, there were already slash marks on Sir Hels' gauntlet, but Shad's armor was still intact.

The wrestling between the hand and the sword lasted for a while, and the two parted tacitly

, rode a horse and tried again, and then approached and slashed at his opponent with a sword again.

The people in the auditorium could only see that as the two horses continued to move, the long swords of the two knights on the horses kept clanging and colliding, and no one could take the lead in causing an effective attack. But it didn't look boring at all. The sense of power and the force of the collision demonstrated by the two of them swinging their swords on the horse were absolutely impossible to see in ordinary times.

The surging emotions caused by the collision of steel were lifted up a little bit, and the cheers of the people became louder and louder with the high emotions and the desire to win the bet.

Continuously swinging a sword is still a burden on the body of an ordinary person after all, but it is not a big problem for Shad and "Sir Hells". Because of the armor, no one could see their mouths move or hear their voices.

"Mr. Hamilton, you really surprised me. I thought that young people today would no longer like long swords as much as before. They prefer firearms. The era of knights is over after all."

"Sir Hells" still played his role, and said to Shad while swinging his sword.

The long sword reflects the sun in the spring afternoon, so that the so-called "sword light" is formed to make this exhibition match more exciting. Xia De pretended to be breathless:

"You're not bad either. Even though you've reached the age of physical weakness, you can still compete with a young man like me."

The Jazz smiled, and slammed Shade's sword away, kicking the stirrups forward with both feet, shaking his right hand and raising his weapon, and slashing diagonally downward.

Xia De didn't have time to accumulate strength, so he could only hold the hilt of the sword with one hand and press the body of the sword with the other, and was forced to block the blow. While his wrist was sore and he heard bursts of cheers, he took the initiative to move away to the side, ending another short round of confrontation.

"I still have a lot to do, I can't grow old yet."

Sir Hells did not catch up, and he was speaking out of breath, as if he was taking a short rest. Xia De knew that the next question would touch the characteristics of the relic, but he was originally for this:

"Sir, what else do you need to do?"

As the voice came, the whispering elements entangled Shad's soul: "My brother, he is missing."

"Look, they're making contact again!"

At the highest point of the arena, on a high platform guarded by guards in red uniforms, Queen Diana looked at the situation in the arena through a telescope with great interest. At this time, His Majesty the King has left for the time being, and there are only the queen and several princes and princesses in the stands. The oldest among them is the seventeen-year-old Adelina:

"Mr. Hamilton's skills are really good. Last year, he saved me at the Opera House." Agelina said softly, and looked at the scene through the binoculars, her face flushed with excitement: "I bet Mr. Hamilton will win."

"Leggard's Hamilton is still a little young after all."

Beside Adelina, her fifteen-year-old brother, Hawes Cavendish, who also has the iconic red hair of the Cavendish family, said that Adelina ignored him, and she believed Shade very much. .

Queen Diana had put down the binoculars at this time. She touched her stomach subconsciously, then smiled and asked her daughter:

"Adelina, I found that you have been very concerned about Hamilton recently." "Sister Leizia often mentioned him to me recently."

The little princess said immediately, but the queen didn't care about the relationship between Rezia and Shade: "Do you like Hamilton?"

She asked her own question to her daughter in this way, and the expression on Adelina's face remained unchanged. Although often immature in front of their older sisters, the Cavendish heirs are definitely not hothouse flowers:

"Mr. Hamilton likes a mature lady like Aunt Galina."

She didn't mention herself, but her elders. After speaking, she looked down at her figure. Obviously they are all Cavendish, but there is a big gap between her and Galina and Rezia's body.

just right

With a lamenting look, Queen Diana held her daughter's hand:

"Although your father has other arrangements for your marriage, before the actual engagement, Adelina, you are free."

She smiled and blinked at her daughter, Agelina pursed her lips and nodded, she knew that this was her mother's hint to herself, as long as there were no major mistakes, she could try to contact Xia De.

Picking up the binoculars, Adelina looked at the confrontation in the arena again. I saw Shad and Sir Hells, who were very close, raised their feet from the horse and kicked each other at the same time, and then they rolled and fell off the horse at the same time.

Amidst the continuous sound of "Oh~" from the auditorium, the two horses ran towards the edge of the arena, while Shad and Sir Hells each rolled on the ground and stood up, preparing for a melee swordsmanship competition.

"Excellent indeed."

Adelina heard her mother's voice, she nodded slightly, the burning desire in her heart was stronger than ever.

"The missing brother?"

Shade moved forward sharply, standing on the ground with his feet extremely stable, and while feeling the power of the ground, he slashed the long sword towards Sir Hells. After reaching the ground, he felt that he could completely suppress the Jazz in front of him. Jazz fought back with his sword, but he had to retreat quickly after being hit, moving his sore wrist and continuing to speak:

"Yes, my younger brother disappeared more than ten years ago. I plan to ask His Majesty to help him search for it across the country. I think it should be possible."

Sir Hells said in a normal tone, but under Shad's helmet, his expression was a little more serious. Hold the sword in both hands and lower your center of gravity, then raise the long sword horizontally and thrust forward suddenly. Sir Hells, who was ready to counterattack, dodged to the side, but Shade's sword seemed to hit his heart at the moment it was thrust out.

In a hurry, Jazz raised his long sword to block it, but then he felt as if he was kicked by an elephant, and he fell backwards. Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, he landed on his back and rolled over, before Xia De stabbed down with the long sword, he rolled and dodged and then got up quickly.

Of course, Xia De would not let go of such an opportunity, quickly followed up and continued to pursue, and the sound of swaying the long sword was endless. "But I haven't heard that you have a younger brother."

Xia De said in a very steady voice, as if the person wielding the sword was not him at all. Sir Hells, who was tired of parrying, fought back while fighting, and the balance of victory was tilting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hamilton of Rajed, you are not from Lengshuigang, and you probably don't know the history of my family. In fact, I was born as twins, but when I was about one year old, my younger brother was stolen. This family Scandal, even here in Coldwater, few people know about it."

Xia De smiled, dodged lightly to the left, dodged the steel sword that was trying to counterattack during the defense, then twisted his right ankle, and bumped his right shoulder forward with an almost impossible movement, causing He Sir Ernes almost lost his balance and fell again.

"Is there a possibility..."

He wanted to continue to strike the sword, but suddenly frowned, the Jazz's strength actually increased. [He is suspecting you of questioning his identity, and the relic is showing some power. 】

"She" reminded softly, so Shade's attack was suspended. He took a step back to check the situation, but Sir Hells had already taken the initiative to catch up. At this moment, the long sword in his hand really danced like an afterimage. With the potential energy brought by Jazz's twisting body, the unprepared Xia De was overwhelmed by the sword dance-like offensive.

"The witcher's sword dance, designed to deal with swarms of inhuman humanoids, a master swordsman who walks in the rain with which even raindrops can't wet his clothes."

Shad immediately recognized this sword technique, which was definitely not something that Sir Hells could master.

Fortunately, there is a record of this sword technique in the inheritance of [Night Watchman]. Although Xia De can't use it as proficiently as the person in front of him, at least he knows what angle to block it from.

The exclamations and cheers of the crowd were completely indistinguishable. Ordinary people couldn't recognize the burden on the body and wrists of the "Sword Dance", and thought it was some fancy sword technique, but

The ring warlocks who are ready to rescue at any time know the danger of the situation.

But fortunately, although Xia De couldn't stop every swing of the sword, the steel sword slashed on his armor, and it couldn't cause any damage at all. "Miss Galina is really willing to spend money."

Many people think so.

"Is there a possibility that the missing person is you, and you are actually your younger brother?"

Xia De asked a complete sentence, and the sword dance that was coming towards him like a torrential rain suddenly stopped. "What's the meaning?"

Because he felt more and more that something was going to happen recently, Shade got up early this morning and went to Midhill Castle to find Grace and Helen, and asked them about the [Faceless Man], who is also an angel-level humanoid relic.

The sisters also knew about the relic. Although they didn't know much about him, but because they were all related to the "twins", the Red Butterfly girls gave Xia De a very certain conclusion:

"Although you can't make him realize that you doubt his identity, you can make him doubt his own identity, thus causing him to fall into temporary confusion. Since a faceless man steals other people's faces, it is easier to confuse himself. The people of the Fifth Epoch summed up the way to face him. As for the story that happened to him, this is another sad story.”

In the grandstand area at this time, the figures of Miss Galina and Rezia appeared together. The duke and the princess came from the city together and got the news just now on the way.

The bright spring sunshine wine was on the two people's very similar long red hair. After greeting Queen Diana, the witch slightly frowned and said in Leizia's ear:

"I can't hear what they are saying at all, but don't worry too much. Although it is an angel-level relic, Shade has faced more dangerous things." "If [Faceless Man] goes crazy, can you beat it? ?”

Rezia asked, Miss Galina thought about it, and shook her head cautiously:

"It's impossible to completely defeat it, but it's still possible to take you away. After all, there are so many people here." Rezia knew what she meant:

"It's not convenient for me to come forward. After this matter is over, you have to get suitable compensation for Xia De. There are so many people here, why let him, an ordinary person, face such a dangerous thing. Even if the other party's characteristics have not yet shown, It’s no different from normal people, but it’s a relic after all.”

"The church will make the right compensation....it looks like it's almost over." "It was me who was lost, and I was actually my brother?"

Sir Hells repeated Shad's words in a low voice, and then suddenly slashed at Shad's shoulder with his sword, and Shad fought back with almost the same move. The two swords clashed together. The helmets of the two are also almost attached to the sword:

"What evidence do you have?"

"Think about it carefully, why do you want to look like someone else?"

Xia De said softly, kicked Sir Hells away suddenly, and then launched a counterattack when the other party was stunned:

"Because you don't know what your missing brother looks like, so when you think you are your brother, you look like a faceless person. Although you are twins, your appearance is still different after all."

"Is that so?"

Jazz's tone was full of doubts, but it didn't prevent him from parrying Shad's attack. The long sword in Xia De's hand swung more and more powerfully, even he himself felt as if he was forcibly smashing the sword forward.

The two advanced one by one and retreated by the other, and Sir Hels fell into a deeper confusion:

"I'm not an older brother, but a younger brother? But if that's the case, why don't I remember what I was like when I was a younger brother?"

"Isn't it easy to understand? You've been lost in a false identity for so long that you've completely forgotten who you really are. Do you know what the furthest distance in the world is?"

"The distance between life and death, I have been worried about my brother...or maybe my brother is dead."

"No no, the furthest distance in the world is—your brother is you, but you can't see him. Sir, I think you should understand."

Then there was continuous silence, only Xia De's offensive became more and more fierce.

The Tao is also getting bigger and bigger.

But Xia De did not win easily like this. Suddenly Jazz raised the long sword in his hand to hold Xia De's sword, and slammed forward, and the two armors separated from each other after a heavy collision sound.

Jazz said in a deep voice:

"It's interesting what you said, but I still can't quite trust you."

"I will defeat you and make you believe in me. After fighting for so long, it should be over. How about one move to determine the outcome?"

The last step of the method provided by Helen and Grace is to defeat the [Faceless Man] in disguise in a reasonable way, and then the confused relic will leave on its own. It sounds simple, but this is the knowledge that the witches of the Fifth Era traded their lives for.

Jazz accepted Xia De's challenge. The two retreated in the auditorium under the gaze of thousands of eyes. Then they raised their weapons in front of them, bowed to each other, and launched a final charge at the same time.

This is like the last echo of the era of cold weapon knights, ringing in this crazy and progressive era. Amid the cheers and applause, the knights in armor waved their final attack on this sunny spring afternoon in the ancient arena that has been passed down for hundreds of years, under the witness of tens of thousands of people.

The long swords collided with each other, and at that moment it seemed that time stood still.

And as the charging two slowed down and staggered towards different directions, the leg armor made a rhythmic metal sound as they walked, the long sword in Shad's hand lowered to the ground, and the half sword in Sir Hels's hand was still buzzing. rattle.

The blade of the broken sword flew into the air, reflecting a dazzling light, and entered the land in front of the auditorium on the east side amidst people's exclamation and laughter.

woo woo~

The loud horn sounded to celebrate the birth of the champion of the new year, everyone stood up and applauded, and the sound from the loudspeaker spread throughout the Edward III Arena:

"In the name of King Larousse III, the 1854 Tobesk Spring Riding Tournament has come to an end, and the champion who bears the honor of knighthood is—Hamilton of Regard!"

The ribbon was blown into the distance with the wind, and the clouds in the blue sky slowly drifted further away. Shade took off his helmet with great effort, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then stabbed the long sword into the ground, then turned to look at "Sir Hells" while holding the helmet.

The latter also took off his helmet, revealing a face Shad had never seen before. He nodded at Shad with a puzzled expression, then turned and walked towards the rest area full of church ring warlocks.

Xia De shook his head, grabbed his long sword, then held up his helmet and long sword, and raised his head to accept the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience.

In the tense adventure life and exhausting running, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com enjoys life in this way, which is a very good choice for foreigners. He smiled and looked at all the people above, the gentlemen laughing and applauding, the ladies waving handkerchiefs to him, the middle-class citizens excitedly talking about this year's race, and seeing the betting tickets Weeping people:

"Damn, how can you win?"

The ball of paper wanted to hit him, but was blown back by the gentle wind and hit his face again, making people laugh. "What a nice young man."

Queen Diana said to Mademoiselle Galina, who, with her lipsticked red lips, was looking at the young knights in the arena with her grandniece.

"Leggard's Hamilton! Regard's Hamilton!"

The voices of shouting gradually joined together, Xia De raised his head to look at the blue sky, feeling that the deep sky was so close to him at this moment.

"Look at that cloud, does it look like Little Mia?" All I got was "her" gentle laughter.
